Colchester Academy, formerly Sir Charles Lucas Arts College, is a secondary school in Colchester, Essex specialising in English and Health Sciences. It opened on 6 September 2010.
Its buildings are fundamentally unsafe due to the Bright Tribe Trust taking public money intended for repairs and safety work, and then never completing the work. The Conservative government, which had approved the academy initiative, had been warned about problems in 2015, but had taken no action. Michael Dwan, who set up Bright Tribe and had previously made a fortune of over a hundred million pounds from similar arrangements in NHS provision, said "I am not in control of the trusts and never have been."
