What you will need
About us
Langham Oaks School is a thriving special school, providing 80 places for boys, aged 10-16 with a residential provision for 28 pupils. It is located in the heart of the small village of Langham, in north-east Essex, six miles from Colchester. The school used to reside in a 19th century house with extensions for classrooms, but in October 2020 we received the keys to a brand new and specially designed building in the grounds (see photo below) which has completely transformed our provision.
Langham Oaks is more than a school; it is a community based on exceptionally strong and trusting relationships between children and adults. Pupils are capable of learning and achieving, but have experienced many complex issues preventing them from engaging in learning and making progress. Staff from both the day and residential teams work proactively and collaboratively to develop and deliver the best bespoke package for each individual pupil.
