SES - Specialised Education, Residential Care, Norfolk, UK

Care and Education Without Limits

Poppy in a field

Welcome to the SES website - home of Specialist Education Services, an organisation providing specialised education and residential care throughout Norfolk and the wider UK. Specialist Education Services is a forward-looking company with high aspirations and an inspiring vision about how to meet the learning and care needs of children with severe and complex behavioural, emotional and social difficulties, and specific learning difficulties. These children invariably need residential care and education within a 52 week placement, have a statement of special educational needs and are deemed to be "Looked After Children".

We adopt a "no limits" philosophy. This means that the adults in our residential care and specialised education establishments have a passionate conviction that all our children are able to achieve. We are optimistic about success and accept no restriction on what is possible with the young people who are in our care and whose education is in our hands.

Bespoke, personalised specialised education and care are hallmarks of our operation, based on a positive psychology perspective that underpins our values.
