TCES North West London is part of the TCES Group, which is a social enterprise, with a singular social mission to create wide-scale social impact through pioneering inclusion practices. This is a clear social mission that has at its centre the inclusion of our pupils. This is a family-run social enterprise whose profits are reinvested back into the school to develop our services continuously. Whilst TCES celebrated its 25th Anniversary on 5th November 2024, TCES North West London celebrated its 15th Anniversary as a school in the Autumn term 2024.

We are an ‘Outstanding’ school following an Ofsted Inspection from 4th to 6th February 2025. We have a proud track record of three outstanding inspection reports out of the last four inspections over the last 8 years. Our TCES North West London school has always been ‘Good’ with Outstanding standards or ‘Outstanding’ since its inception in March 2010.

TCES North West London provides special education for exceptional neurodivergent children and young people between the ages of 7 to 19 years old. All of these pupils have Education, Health & Care Plans, typically with a diagnosis of SEMH (social, emotional and mental health) and/or ASC (autism spectrum condition) and associated conditions. These associated conditions have changed post-pandemic and now include 'Emotionally-Based School Avoidance' (EBSA), in which almost 100% of our newly placed pupils come to TCES North West London with persistent absence (under 90% attendance). Additionally, a third of our pupils arrive at our school with a history of being severely absent (under 50% attendance). This challenge is met through the provision of embedded therapeutic education and very significant resources to support pupils' attendance in line with the DfE's new attendance guidance; 'Working together to improve attendance' - August 2024.

Our pupils are referred to us by a significant number of Local Authorities in London and the Home Counties and are placed with us following an assessment based on a risk and needs assessment.

We provide full-time education for Key Stage 2 to 5 pupils from London Local Authorities.
