ISI Inspection Report - December 2022
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’.
It is especially heart warming to read within this report, that our pupils are seen to, ‘look after each other and demonstrate very high levels of care and friendship,’ and that our pupils are ‘proud of their school and speak eagerly of their ambitions for the future.’
