Six models of
Excellence
-
‘Great Minds’ Therapeutic Education
Learning can only happen when pupils feel safe enough to take risks and open up to challenges. We use a therapeutic approach based in neuroscience to support our pupils to move from the ‘survival’ to the ‘thinking’ part of their brain. A variety of therapeutic methods can encourage emotional and social growth and create a joy for learning.

We work with clinical/educationalist psychologists, CAHMs services and animal therapies to properly support each pupil.

Young Leaders
Our award-winning LIFE programme teaches our pupils confidence and resilience, the principles of Leadership, Independence, Future options & employability, and Empowerment. We build self-esteem through weekly assemblies, Group Process sessions, and reflective time, encouraging pupils to flourish in school and succeed as adults. We offer qualifications in Peer Mentoring (Level 2) and English Speaking Board.

Families And Schools Together
We believe that ‘Families And Schools working Together’ (FAST) are key to understanding pupil experience and affecting change. We work collaboratively with parents and carers to ensure that pupils experience continuity within their Pathway Plan, at home and school. We invest in social work throughout TCES to support our complex and vulnerable pupils.
