Colchester Royal Grammar School: Welcome

Welcome

A 'town school' or 'great school' is recorded as existing in Colchester in 1206 AD. The present school, a direct descendant of this, was granted Royal Charters: by Henry VIII in 1539 and by Elizabeth I in 1584.

Today, Colchester Royal Grammar School is a proud leader amongst the nation's highly regarded maintained grammar schools. An 11-18 boys school with girls in the sixth form, it is situated in a pleasant residential area of Colchester. The school has buildings of character including a superb hall with a pipe organ and an attractive library, delightful mature gardens open to the pupils, extensive playing fields, excellent cricket facilities and a swimming pool.
