The short answer from official pages
Colyton and Chelmsford publish admissions pages, but explicit writing wording is not clearly stated on the referenced pages.
CSSE resources can provide useful regional context where published composition evidence appears.
For mixed routes, keep writing active but proportionate and let explicit wording set final weighting.
For a full map, use the school admissions guides hub and keep every row date-stamped.
