Term datesColchester Prep & High School

Colchester • CO3 3HDLocal authority: Essex

These are Colchester Prep & High School's own term dates for 2026/27 — 2025/26, 2027/28 and 2028/29 filled from Essex council's calendar for now.

Details

The school's own dates are read from colchesterhighschool.co.uk. The school hasn't published 2025/26, 2027/28 and 2028/29 yet, so those years are filled from Essex council's calendar: term dates and holidays, but not the school's own training days, usually five a year. Expect a few extra closed days. We re-check every few days and swap in the school's dates the moment they appear.
