We have extensive expertise within our Senior Team and Board of Governors, who are dedicated to transforming the lives of SEND children and young people.

Welcome from Founder and CEO
Thomas Keaney
For 25 years, TCES Group has had the privilege of supporting children and young people with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities and standing alongside their families. From the very beginning, our commitment has been simple but unwavering: we never give up on a child, and we never exclude.
Our work goes far beyond the school gates. We understand that meaningful progress happens when education, wellbeing and family support come together. That is why our therapeutic approach places each child at the centre of everything we do, not policies, not systems, but the individual young person with their unique strengths, needs and potential.
True inclusion is not just about placement; it is about belonging, understanding and opportunity. Over the past 25+ years, we have seen how therapeutic education can rebuild confidence, increase attendance and reduce exclusions by meeting children where they are and helping them move forward.
As we look to the next 25 years, our mission continues. We will keep delivering outstanding therapeutic education within TCES, while also supporting schools nationally and internationally to adopt approaches that prioritise wellbeing, relationships and inclusion. Our goal is clear: to ensure more children with SEND experience success, stability and a genuine sense of belonging in their education
