Facilities

Life-long learning
Most, if not all other providers will split care, education and health up into separate components. SES does not. Learning is a life-long process not just a ‘home’, ‘classroom’ or ‘school’ process. SES starts with the child; learning should fit around the child, not the child made to fit a narrow or rigid model.Each child receives a highly tailored curriculum to suit their specific needs and requirements. There is a large emphasis placed on the core skills of literacy, numeracy, computing and personal development, as well as a broad exposure to stimulating spiritual, moral, social and cultural experiences.

Holistic care and education
SES provides highly specialist, integrated therapeutic care and education for children with complex behavioural, emotional, and social difficulties and associated learning needs.Both locations are in peaceful and relaxing rural location within 20 minutes of the facilities of Norwich, Lowestoft and Great Yarmouth. The nearer small market towns and easy access to the Norfolk and Suffolk coastlines and countryside give many options for responding to children’s needs.
