Philip Morant School joined the Sigma Trust in 2018, moving from the then defunct Thrive Partnership,[4] which it co-founded.

A copy of his History, in two volumes dated 1768, is on permanent loan to the School by the Essex Archaeological Society.

The quartering of the badge is formed by the representation of a cross signifying both Morant's work as a churchman and also the School's spiritual life.

During Ms Hutley's tenure as headteacher, the motto was briefly changed to "Aspiration, Success, Kindness", which had an associated logo that comprised a circle with a thought box circumscribing the text "ASK".

Instead the metalled road was truncated a short distance before the school for safety reasons, and a footpath set on the original route.

However, Colchester council has not announced that it will halt its road building programme, in spite of local demands to preserve the green space.

[17] In July 2015, the school once again caused controversy when it erected a metal fence across a stretch of the Norman Way footpath without consulting residents.

The idea 'Prove It +' was to give students the opportunity to make their own decisions concerning what tasks they complete as a substitute to traditional homework.
