Thomas Lord Audley

The Thomas Lord Audley School is a thriving, over-subscribed 11-16 comprehensive school, situated to the south of Colchester. 

It serves a wide and diverse catchment area, including Old Heath, Monkwick, Shrub End, the villages to the south of Colchester and the community of Mersea Island.

We aim to ensure our young people leave school not only with the best examination results possible but also with the skills and attributes they need to go on to success in their adult lives.  Our students have excellent attitudes and a real enthusiasm for their studies, we encourage them to adopt a growth mindset and to learn from the challenges they face.  All students are expected to reach their potential.  As a school we take a real pride in their achievements and celebrate their successes.

I am very proud of our school and our students.  We think that The Thomas Lord Audley School has a very definite feel to it, one of positivity and challenge but also enjoyment.  Our school is characterised by a positive learning environment and excellent relationships.  We believe that children are more likely to be successful if they work within a secure environment that supports them and allows them to grow and develop.
