“The school aims to promote excellence in all areas and to develop each pupil’s abilities and character to the full. It seeks to do this by fostering learning and scholarship of the highest quality. Pupils’ high levels of motivation, and teaching which goes beyond the confines of the curriculum, enable pupils to make excellent progress. The pupils have excellent communication skills. They are supportive of each other and keen to listen to and learn from what their peers and teachers have to say. They are enthusiastic, self-confident and articulate.” There was a regulatory compliance visit in 2019 and a routine inspection in 2023.

About the school

  • You would never know, looking at its modern buildings, that Colfe’s is one of the oldest schools in London. Founded 360 years ago and bombed in the Second World War, it was relocated and rebuilt on its current site in 1964 and stands out for its superlative sports facilities, including playing fields and a sports centre with a full-size swimming pool.
  • Colfe’s is fully co-educational from 3-18. About one in four pupils benefit from some form of financial assistance — academic scholarships that offer 10-50 per cent reductions in fees, co-curricular scholarships offering 10-20 per cent, or means-tested scholarships of up to 100 per cent.
  • Colfe’s has risen up the ranks of the league tables in the past few years. In 2024 87 per cent of A-levels were A*-B and 27 per cent were the top grade, A*. More than 90 per cent of Colfe’s leavers go on to their first-choice university.
