About the day
We're delighted to invite you to join us on Friday 18th September 2026 from 1pm – 3pm for the official Open Day of Lexden Hall School in Colchester. This is a fantastic opportunity to explore our brand-new specialist school and meet Executive Head Teacher David Ollier and Head Teacher Anna Nottage.
Opening to students in January 2027, Lexden Hall School is designed to support children and young people with SEND, including those with complex needs. Combining personalised education with strong pastoral and therapeutic support, the school will provide a nurturing environment where every young person can feel safe, valued and ready to succeed.
During the event, you'll have the opportunity to:
Tour our newly developed school environment and specialist facilities.
Meet Executive Head Teacher David Ollier, Head Teacher Anna Nottage and the wider team.
Learn more about our therapeutic, child-centred approach to education.
Discover how we support students with anxiety and related needs through personalised learning and pastoral support.
Find out more about placements and the support available for young people and their families.
Enjoy a complimentary buffet lunch and network with colleagues and partners.
The event will also feature a special opening ceremony led by a VIP guest, followed by a short speech marking the official opening of Lexden Hall School and celebrating the opportunities it will create for children, young people and families across Essex.
