Information about the School

Established in 2015 The SEAX Trust is a multi academy trust of five academies, each with their unique style and specialism. Our schools span Essex: from Brentwood, to Chelmsford and on to Colchester. They serve over five hundred wonderful young people with a range of special educational needs: from moderate learning difficulties; speech language and communication needs; social, emotional and mental health needs as well as meeting the needs of a significant group of pupils in all of our schools with an autism diagnosis. Another aspect of our work is providing support to mainstream schools around meeting the needs of young people with autism and the Mid- Essex Autism Hub.

We are proud to be a Trust that is continually evolving to meet the changing needs of young people with special educational needs. The successful opening of The Hawthorns, our fifth school, has expanded our specialist provision for young people with autism, and in September 2026 the school further enhanced its offer with the launch of its EBSA provision, Hawthorns Connect. As a forward-thinking Trust, we remain committed to developing innovative services and expanding opportunities to ensure every young person receives the education and support they need to achieve their full potential.

SEAX Trust is a Disability Confident Employer.
