The Complete Education Solution (TCES)

TCES is an independent provider of specialist education based in London supporting exceptional neurodiverse children and young people aged 7 to 19 who have special educational needs and disabilities typically associated with autism, social emotional and mental health needs and associated disorders. Most of them will have experienced multiple placement breakdowns and significant trauma, often resulting in behaviour that challenges. 

On average pupils will have been excluded from other provisions up to three times before reaching us and had significant periods out of education. At TCES we pride ourselves on practicing real, authentic inclusion. Since our inception no pupil has been permanently excluded from any of our schools or services, and there have been no fixed term exclusions since 2018.

TCES pupils learn at one of our four schools or within our Home Learning service.  Pupils supported by our tutors and teachers from TCES Home Learning will have complex needs which prevent them from accessing education within schools, this may include severe anxiety, school phobia or other trauma. Pupils are provided a bespoke learning package to deliver positive outcomes against targets from their Education, Health and Care plans. When they are ready, we aim for pupils to step down back into their own setting or into our Create Learning service.
