The Edith Borthwick School is a special school in Braintree, Essex, England. It has 220 pupils (as of May 2016) from ages 3 to 19, with severe and complex learning difficulties including autism.
Contents
The school was first opened in 1976 in purpose-built premises in nearby Bocking, where it neighboured Bocking Church Street Primary School, but moved in 2015 to its current purpose-built premises in Braintree.
The school is named after Edith Borthwick, an Essex County Councillor who died in a traffic accident in the 1970s and who "did a lot for special education".
Fire
In April 2007 a fire broke out at the school's former site. Two demountable classrooms burned down, in addition to a garage. The cause of the fire was later thought to be arson.
