READY TO EXCEL
As an academic school, we pride ourselves on the progress made by each pupil on their own individual learning journey.
We set the bar high for every pupil at Colchester Prep & High School, giving each of them the individual attention they need to stay motivated, work hard and achieve their full potential. The results they go on to achieve are a source of pride to us all.
We are proud to report that 16 of our pupils were offered local Grammar School places in the last 3 years.
