READY TO EXCEL
Academic excellence is hard-wired into everything we do at Colchester Prep & High School. Whether you are aiming for your children to sit the 11+ exam or apply for a scholarship for entry into our highly sought after Senior School, preparation starts right from EYFS. We equip your children with the tools, skills and confidence to achieve their full potential.
We are extremely proud of the number of our pupils that are successful in both the 11+ examination and also being offered scholarships into our Senior School. Our pastoral care team work closely with those children sitting assessments and preparing for interviews to ensure they remain happy and can successfully manage the pressures around exam times.
HOW WE PREPARE YOUR CHILD
PERSONALISED SUPPORT FOR EVERY CHILD
Our curriculum is designed to prepare your children for scholarships and the 11+ examination in a supportive, integrated and relaxed way that ensures all the tools and skills are in place well in advance of the required deadlines. Much of the learning is integrated seamlessly into main stream lessons. Open-ended differentiation within lessons gives all children the confidence and potential to extend and deepen their learning across the curriculum. Group work, presentations and collaborative tasks help build children’s confidence and analytical skills.
From Year 5 we introduce our Prep Aspire Higher Club and 11+ Booster Sessions, focusing the children more specifically on 11+ and scholarship preparation.
