A HIDDEN GEM IN THE HEART OF COLCHESTER

Situated in the heart of Colchester, parents are always impressed by the way we make the most of our site and the surrounding area to offer a rich array of opportunities to our pupils.

But our education does not stop at the school gates. Working together with our local community partners, your child will enjoy using some of the best sports facilities in the area and benefit from a whole host of internationally renowned museums, art galleries, and theatres on their doorstep.

FACILITIES

PLENTY OF ROOM FOR EVERY NEED

Your child will learn and discover in our purpose-built science and technology labs, develop their creativity in our dedicated performing arts block, and learn to collaborate in our state of the art Innovation Room.

Our bright, airy rooms extend much further back than parents expect and our stimulating Early Years Garden, complete with sandpit, outdoor drawing boards and climbing frame is always a delightful surprise.

And it takes little imagination to see how our school hall – with its striking staircase and modern lighting system – plays host to a vibrant programme of plays and performances. Whilst our immersive woodland classroom in the Prep School and outdoor Eco classroom provide our pupils with an engaging and interactive learning experience.
