About St Benedict's Catholic College

St Benedict’s Catholic College is a secondary school located in the ancient town of Colchester, Essex. Originally founded in 1963 as a secondary modern, St Benedict’s exists today as a co-educational voluntary-aided school.

It is the only Catholic secondary school in Colchester. With 900 students aged 11-16, St Benedict’s is a smaller than average secondary school.

Values and vision

As a school in the Catholic tradition, St Benedict’s holds Catholic values at the heart of everything it does. The college has a dedicated chaplaincy office, with mass being offered to all students regularly and prayer taking place in form time every morning.

The college regularly organises retreats in order to encourage spiritual reflection and team-building. Students are well supported by the chaplaincy and pastoral teams. St Benedict’s has a strong reputation for academic excellence, and seeks to preserve this by offering a wide-ranging and well-taught curriculum.
