About
Over the past 140 years Colchester Prep & High School has built a reputation for providing an excellent all-round education whilst preparing pupils to be confident, balanced individuals, ready for a rapidly changing world.
Today that reputation still stands.
By combining a STEAM powered curriculum with a global perspective and a deep sense of responsibility, we provide children with an education that gives them the skills and confidence to challenge, question, explore and create the world they want to see. To inspire them to be the next generation of entrepreneurs, digital creatives, engineers and inventors. To be the changemakers of tomorrow’s world.
Colchester Prep & High School has a proven track record of excellent academic results. Our small class sizes, broad curriculum and strong pastoral care allows our teachers to work with the pupils, giving them the confidence to set their own aspirations and build towards them.
Beyond the classroom, our extensive extra-curricular programme, varied trips and outdoor education provision encourages pupils to develop new talents, broaden their horizons and cultivate a curiosity about the world and people around them. Whether your child is interested in sport, music and performance, digital and creative arts, sustainability, entrepreneurship, robotics or debating, there is an activity for them.
Rated ‘Double Excellent’ by the ISI Inspectorate (January 2023) and as the only Microsoft Showcase School in Essex, we provide our pupils with the future ready skills they need for the workplace.
