    Discover SEAX

    Welcome to

    SEAX Trust

    The SEAX Trust is a multi academy trust of five academies, each with their own unique style and specialism. Our schools span Essex; from Brentwood, to Chelmsford and on to Colchester.

    They serve over six 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 in meeting the needs of young people with autism and the Mid- Essex Autism Hub.
