The Complete Education Solution (TCES) is an independent social enterprise consisting of a group of Good and Outstanding schools and services for young people with neurodiverse identities. Our pupils are aged 7 to 19 usually with diagnoses / labelled as having Autistic Spectrum Condition (ASC) and/or Social Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) needs. We are committed to achieving the best outcome for each pupil and their family through access to outstanding therapeutic education and family support.
We provide a sector-leading therapeutic education and pupil leadership curriculum across our two day schools (TCES East London and TCES North West London, in Newham and East Acton respectively), as well as our Create Learning Service, made up of Create in the Community and TCES Create Primary, which works with more complex students who need intensive support as part of our ‘step down’ model into one of our main schools, TCES Sixth Form, or mainstream provisions. In 2020, we launched TCES Home Learning to provide a full curriculum for children who are unable to physically attend school for a variety of reasons, including severe anxiety and school phobia.
On joining us, pupils will have already – on average – experienced 3 permanent exclusions, been out of full-time education for up to 18 months and/or are recognised to be substantially at risk of being unemployed, developing severe mental health problems and involvement with the criminal justice system later in life.
Between 3 and 5 years after leaving a TCES, 90% of our students are in education, training or employment, going on to study at college and university and pursuing careers in social care, retail and theatre amongst others.
Our authentic commitment to inclusion means that since our opening in 1999, working with over 3,500 children and young people, we have NEVER permanently excluded a single child. Since 2019 our fixed term exclusions have also been reduced to zero.
