About Writtle College Limited

Writtle College Limited is a state secondary school in Chelmsford, within the Essex local authority, and it caters exclusively to students aged 16 to 99, making it a unique option for post-16 and adult learners in the area. It sits in a competitive landscape where the top-performing schools in Essex, based on ranking scores, are King Edward VI Grammar School, Chelmsford (score 1.11), Colchester Royal Grammar School (1.09), and Brentwood Ursuline Convent High School (1.01). The nearest Outstanding-rated school to Writtle is King Edward VI Grammar School, just 2.5 kilometres away, but Writtle’s focus on older students sets it apart from these selective grammar and faith schools. Of the 86 same-type state secondaries in Essex, only seven hold an Outstanding rating, which gives context to the local standards. Headteacher Philip Grant leads a mixed, non-religious institution that offers a broad range of facilities including a sports hall, science labs, ICT suite, library, gymnasium, and music rooms, supporting a varied curriculum for its mature student body.
