Colchester Prep & High School

Our mission is to prepare children to be the changemakers of tomorrow's world through an inspiring education which builds self-belief and empowers individuals to succeed. We provide an education that fosters academic excellence, global awareness, and social responsibility, helping pupils become well-rounded individuals and conscious, active citizens of the future.

Our 'one learning' community encourages collaboration, discovery, and achievement across all years, guided by our values of kindness, tolerance, respect, equality, perseverance, and courage. Making a conscious effort to be friendly, generous, and compassionate. Being patient, understanding and accepting of different opinions, beliefs and cultures.

Respecting each other and our environment, embracing our differences and celebrating individuality. Ensuring that every individual has an equal opportunity to make the most of their lives and talents. The courage to know what they want to achieve, to strive to do the best they can in the world and to speak out when it matters.

Where pupils are encouraged to persist and try their best. To inspire academic excellence through achievement, we empower our pupils to aspire higher and to work to the best of their academic ability. Encouraging perseverance, autonomy, agency and mastery, pupils develop inquisitive minds and a life-long love of learning.
