The Complete Education Solution (TCES)

TCES is an independent social enterprise providing 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.

TCES pupils learn at one of our two schools, at our Create Learning Primary site in Barking, through our Create in the Community service or within our Home Learning service.

Our Create in the Community and Create Learning Primary services support our most complex and vulnerable pupils, with our schools:

TCES East London and TCES North West London supporting those who are able to access learning within a school environment.

When they are ready, we aim for pupils to step down from Create into one of our main schools, our Sixth Form, or into a mainstream provision.
