I know there was an old thread regarding this but I can't find it.

The school have just sent the following letter to parents:
Dear Parent
The Governing Body at Colchester County High School would like to change the PAN
(Pupil Admissions number) for September 2014.
Currently we admit 112 students to Year 7 and we propose increasing this to 140. We are
currently a four form entry and this increase would take Colchester County High School
to five forms of entry. The expansion would be supported by a building programme.
The reason for the change is:
I. To provide economies of scale and improve the efficiency of our cost structure
II. To respond to significant demand for Grammar School places.
At the moment we do not have any plans to introduce a catchment area.

WOW!!! :D :D
Don't have any info on the subject but it would be fantastic if they expand the school, I really hope it happens. There are so many dds out there that deserve a GS education.

From local newspaper website:
Leading selective school Colchester County High School for Girls is to expand.

The school will take an extra 28 students a year - and its male counterpart Colchester Royal Grammar School may also follow suit.

Colchester gazette. It doesn't say anything else though - just tells you to buy the paper!

edit: That's strange I've just replied to a question that's disappeared!
