OUR APPROACH
WE RECOGNISE THAT EACH CHILD IS UNIQUE
In our Pre-Prep, we build strong foundations for a school life full of curiosity, excitement, and opportunity. Our skilled teachers set personalised, aspirational goals, nurturing each child’s strengths while supporting areas for growth, fostering well-rounded, creative, and inquisitive learners.
PASTORAL CARE
EVERY TEACHER GETS TO KNOW THEIR PUPILS INCREDIBLY WELL
They understand how they learn best, when they are struggling but afraid to ask, when they need challenging and equally, when they need supporting.
With this outstanding level of support in place, our children feel safe and supported and can focus all their energies on learning and development of their amazing talents.
Extra Curricular & clubs
READY TO EXPLORE ALL THEIR TALENTS
Our Pre-Prep children can explore new talents every day of the week.
Clubs are booked on a termly basis and may vary during the year and by year group.
JOIN US FOR AN OPEN DAY
At Colchester Prep & High School we believe it is important for children to want to be here. That is why we regularly invite parents and children to visit our school.
LEADERSHIP OPPORTUNITIES
READY TO DETERMINE THEIR PLACE IN THE WORLD
Leadership in Pre-Prep is about ensuring our youngest pupils understand that they have a voice and to provide them with the confidence to use it to help shape their lives and the lives of their peers.
TRIPS
READY TO EXPAND THEIR HORIZONS
To broaden their understanding and enrich learning, our Pre-Reception pupils visit Layer Marney Towers to study the Tudors, Colchester Library to foster a love of reading, the Natural History Museum for Science, and local walks to explore their surroundings.
Highlights include the annual Mercury Theatre pantomime and memorable events like waving to the King during his 2023 Colchester visit. Reception pupils also enjoy weekly Forest School sessions.
