GLOBAL PERSPECTIVE

READY TO STAND UP FOR WHAT'S RIGHT

We believe that developing a global perspective is increasingly vital to thriving in the 21st century. Pupils are encouraged to be active and conscious citizens of the world by valuing different perspectives, caring for the world around them and giving back to the community.

We achieve this through our in-class learning and extensive enrichment programme as well as pupil leadership groups and participation in national campaigns.

Our global Cognita family also provides a platform for the continual exchange of ideas and inspiration. Our pupils also connect with other Schools within our global community in order to connect with other pupils around the world. Colchester Prep & High School pupils have enjoyed visits from pupils from Singapore, Chile and Spain.

THE FOUR DISCIPLINES :

SUSTAINABILITY

Education plays a vital role in creating a better and greener world for future generations and ensuring that pupils have the skills required to be leaders in sustainability in the 21st Century workplace.

Sustainability is embedded into the curriculum and promoted through whole school off-curriculum enrichment activities and our clubs programme, ensuring our pupils:

Learn from and connect with nature
Develop a knowledge and understanding of a world impacted by climate change and a desire to positively influence and inspire changes
Develop, through practical experience, the skills required for green careers and to become Climate Leaders

EQUALITY DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION

The values of equality, diversity and inclusion are at the heart of our commitment to “building a bright future for all”.

Through our Diversity Ambassadors, the school works to promote awareness and understanding of diversity within our school and the wider community. With teamwork and collaboration, they have created and delivered assemblies to their peers on topics including Black History Month, Diwali and Autism Awareness Month.

SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY & CITIZENSHIP

Developing kind and compassionate leaders for the future is an important part of our Global Curriculum.

We encourage our pupils to get involved in community organisations and charities, to think about how their decisions positively impact society, and to be the changemakers in the world around them.

ETHICAL ENTERPRISE

Ethical enterprise is embedded into learning at Colchester Prep & High School to ensure our pupils understand how to incorporate pressing global social, environmental and economic issues into their decision-making.

Through their PSHE lessons, our Young Enterprise Club and the launch of our Business GCSE in Sept 2023, our pupils learn about how business can make a positive impact on the world and how we can make it a more equal, fairer and sustainable place.

Pupils have led events to inform others about different issues or groups, through this rich experience and learning, pupils are well prepared for life in modern Britain.

Educating the 21st Century Workforce

READY FOR A BRIGHTER FUTURE FOR ALL

The workplace is increasingly incorporating pressing global social, environmental and economic issues into their growth strategy and hiring decisions. Therefore, it is crucial that we educate our pupils about sustainability, social equality and ethical enterprise to ensure they have the knowledge and skills to address these issues.

We are proud to provide an education that prepares our pupils for a greener 21st Century workplace.

OUR COMMITMENT TO SUSTAINABILITY

The importance of sustainability is not only embedded into our school curriculum but is also part of our school operational strategy as we continuously look at how we can reduce our own carbon footprint and become net zero.
