Values and vision

Colchester Royal Grammar School aims to maintain the range and depth of subjects appropriate to a selective school. There is regular emphasis placed on traditional whole-class teaching, but use is also made of a wide range of other teaching approaches, including group work, self-study, and personalised learning. Attention to each individual student and to their educational development, needs and success is viewed as fundamental by the school.

In recent years, the school has also made a point of developing its support for students with mental and emotional difficulties. A sixth form group meets regularly to plan events to raise awareness of mental health issues and the school employs its own psychotherapist.
