We’re working closely with families on student punctuality.
Arriving on time helps students start calmly and succeed. From after Easter, lateness without a valid reason will lead to a next-day detention.
Thank you for your support in promoting resilience, excellence and respect.

[Colchester Academy @ColchesterAcad]

Have a safe and relaxing Easter break.

[Colchester Academy @ColchesterAcad]

Year 7–9 reports are now live on Go4Schools. 📊

Year 11 reports are now available on Go4Schools, including March mock exam results. Please take some time to review them together with your child.
