Our school, which was founded in 1966 specifically for kids whose parents are in the armed forces, is located in the centre of Colchester Garrison. Since we opened, the school has maintained its ties to the military and welcomes students from all across Colchester. Our school's distinctive personality comes from its close ties to the British Army. We take mobility for granted and take pleasure in our capacity to assist new students and families. As a result, many of our students and staff have lived in other nations and regions of the UK, making our school a diverse and lively community. We put a lot of effort into giving kids opportunities and challenges so they can grow to love studying since we think learning should be interesting. Our motto encapsulates our goal by highlighting the significance of effort and free will in determining what we may all accomplish. We have a full programme of sporting events and extracurricular activities available every term. Our remarkable facilities include an all-weather field and a superb school kitchen that serves delicious, home-cooked cuisine for lunch and special occasions.
