We are excellent!
Colchester Prep & High School are delighted to announce that we have achieved ‘excellent’ in all areas, following our recent ISI Inspection. A double “excellent” is the highest possible outcome for a school during an Educational Quality Inspection. Inspectors stated that the school was excellent, both for the quality of pupils’ academic and other achievements and excellent, for the quality of pupils’ personal development.
We are particularly delighted that an external, independent body has not only recognised the excellent school that we are, but also that that they have captured the essence of who we are; highlighting how, through the school’s aims, we build in our pupils the confidence and strength of character to become the ‘changemakers of tomorrow’s world’.
We would like to thank our whole community for their ongoing strength of commitment to our school, and in particular to our pupils who commented to inspectors, how they ‘look after each other and demonstrate very high levels of care and friendship,’ and that they are ‘proud of their school, speaking eagerly of their ambitions for the future.’
Highlights of the report include:
• “Relationships between teachers and pupils are harmonious and positive, creating an environment in which pupils make rapid gains in their learning.”
• “Pupils complete accredited courses on how to harness digital transformation to create immersive and inclusive experiences that inspire lifelong learning.”
• “Pupils across the school develop resilience with problem-solving because they are given interesting challenges to solve – notably in mathematics and science – where pupils show high-level reasoning skills.”
• “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.”
