Values

Collyer’s was founded by the London merchant and Mercer Richard Collyer in 1532. In his will, he outlined a very modern vision for the new school – one that resonates still now with our community and will for the next 500 years.

He wanted above all to invest in his local community and create opportunity, ensuring all eligible students could benefit  from outstanding achievement and the power of education for social mobility (‘noon to be refused likely to learn‘). These timeless and powerful ideals drive the core values for our modern sixth form college.
