Meet Victor

Before Joining TCES East London School

Victor’s attendance was low.
He was diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Condition (ASC) and ADHD.
Victor was anxious and demonstrated dysregulated behaviour, as he found the classroom environment over-stimulating.
He would often use foul and abusive language towards peers and staff.
He was unable to independently maintain his attention and listening skills, this limited his ability to understand and access the school curriculum.
Victor struggled with managing his emotions, often becoming frustrated or overwhelmed when faced with changes in routine or challenging tasks.
Victor was highly impressionable and would mimic poor behaviour from other students.
He found it hard to build relationships with his peers.
He went to another SEND provision and his needs couldn’t be met.
November 2018 – Started at TCES East London School

Progression

Victor’s attendance increased to 97.26%.
He received targeted interventions, including social skills groups and peer mentoring, which allowed him to gain confidence in interacting with peers and staff.
Through therapeutic support, Victor developed emotional regulation strategies, and learnt to recognise his triggers, developed coping mechanisms to manage his frustration and anxiety.
TCES East London School provided a safe and nurturing learning environment, including sensory-friendly adaptations.
Victor became more engaged in lessons, showing improved attention and participation.
With constant support, behaviour strategies and visual cues, Victor learned to recognise good and bad behaviour, reducing foul language and creating a more positive learning environment.
He attends college twice a week, studying a SEND course that helps him build independence and essential life skills.
