Alderman Blaxill School is a secondary school in Colchester, Essex, and is the town's smallest secondary school.
History
The site was developed as Hamilton Road Central School in 1914, but was used as a military hospital during World War I, and did not open until 1920. Following the Education Act 1944, it became a secondary modern school. In 1955, the school moved to a new building in Walnut Tree Way, Shrub End, and was renamed Alderman Blaxill after a former Mayor of Colchester and chairman of the education committee. In 1976, it became a comprehensive school.
