The Complete Education Solution (TCES) is an independent social enterprise, providing specialist therapeutic 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. We are committed to achieving the best outcome for each pupil and their family through access to excellent education and family support.
TCES Create in the Community runs parallel to our independent day schools. Here education focuses on the developmental milestones and a holistic curriculum. Every pupil goes through a different journey with Create in the Community, with highly differentiated and personalised education programmes developed for each pupil who need intensive support as part of our ‘step down’ mode.
On joining us, pupils will have already – on average – experienced three permanent exclusions, been out of full-time education for up to 18 months and 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 school or service, 90% of our students are in education, training or employment.
