Colchester Institute is the largest vocational college serving North Essex and Suffolk. We are committed to providing quality vocational education and training in a wide range of full-time and part-time courses. We offer both higher and further education courses as well as a diverse range of apprenticeships, supporting local business development.

One of the UK's leading independent, co-educational day and boarding schools, Bishop’s Stortford College is a wonderful place of learning in a beautiful setting on the edge of a market town between London and Cambridge. It is a place large enough to provide an exceptional range of opportunities, yet small enough for each child to be known and valued. Our love of life and learning enables pupils to grow into well-rounded, skilful, caring and confident people, equipped and ready for the adventures and opportunities life has to offer.
