Exam results and accreditations 2022-2023

TCES East London

This year, the UK has returned fully to pre-covid, more stringent examination processes and many schools across the UK have seen an impact on their results when compared to recent years. Despite this, at TCES we have had some very positive results.

The Gaps

The learning journey for our older pupils often begins in Key Stage 4 in both TCES East London and TCES North West London schools and our Create in the Community (CiC) service. A significant percentage of our school pupils and an even higher percentage of Create in the Community pupils, start with us late in their two-year GCSE programme, putting them at further disadvantage and having to play catch up with their mainstream peers, despite already having a SEND gap, from mainstream peers. Pupils at our two schools and our Create service have on average experienced three prior exclusions or managed moves and have been out of full-time group education for an average of 15 months. They already have very significant gaps and often arrive after the disruption of exclusion and from no education or from part-time education.

Our Pupil Cohort

Pupils come to TCES with an EHCP and a wide range of learning abilities and differences. The range spans those pupils who can achieve GCSE and A Level qualifications to those who will need significant and potentially life-long support beyond TCES.

Our Offer

In view of their learning gaps, we provide a wide range of opportunities for all our pupils to gain qualifications in A Levels, GCSEs, BTEC Level 1 and 2, Functional Skills Levels 1, 2 and Entry-Level, English-Speaking Board, Sports Leadership Awards, AQAs, Asdan, Arts Awards, Princes Trust, LIFE, and peer mentoring qualifications.  There are also lots of opportunities for our pupils in the world of work. 

Our Promise

We demonstrate high expectations for our pupils as well as levelling the playing field for them and offer them the equal opportunities given to every mainstream pupil. We want to ensure that new pupils are given time to work at their pace - to engage and stabilise into learning and be able to follow a full two-year GCSE programme irrespective of which year they start their TCES placement, between year 10 and year 13. This ensures that pupils who achieve Foundation levels (Grades1 to 3) at the end of the first year of their two-year GCSE programme, will be on the journey to passing their GCSEs and are celebrated for the success they have already achieved along the way.
