Grace Dieu Manor School is a preparatory school for pupils aged 3 to 13 set among 120 acres (0.49 km2) of countryside. Opened in May 1933 by the Rosminians, it is a privately run Catholic school which welcomes children from all denominations and faiths. It acts as a prep school for Ratcliffe College. It occupies the 19th century Grace Dieu Manor house.
Located at Grace Dieu on the A512 near Thringstone in Leicestershire, England, the school is named after the Grace Dieu Priory. The translation of grace dieu is "Grace of God".
The current headmaster is Charles Foulds and the deputy head is Anthony Borrington.
In late 2008, the school began building new buildings for the pre-preparatory department. In 2009 the new Gentili Centre was opened by the Right Reverend John Arnold, an old boy of Grace Dieu. The building complements the historical manor house and is purpose built to house the 3 to 7 year old children.
