National Online School Reviews 12

I hate this discriminating placement.
My son doesn't get to speak in assembly. He has just had his hand up, and was ignored. I've witnessed this many times.
Riley is a two to one, and its taken three years to get anyone to understand it won't be safe for him to work.
No reply despite the doctor writing to school either.
This is total hell.
It seems that they only want kids included when they are able to progress to a work place. Riley doesn't have that ability.

Screening reviews - be warned that TCES is taking lengths to challenge and screen truthful reviews based on families that experienced a poor educational rollout at TCES. Before considering this school, connect with the SEN whatsapp networks and facebook groups to connect with parents who tested this school and ended up on a backdated timeline of education due to poor provision at TCES online.

I currently work at NOS and the staff are absoloutely incredible! Both the teachers and team of therapists are very dedicated to supporting young people at the school and have the most patience, expertise and understanding!

Both of my children attended this school. My Son was there through years 10 and 11, when he arrived at NOS he had EBSA and was completely withdrawn from his education, written off by a school that didn’t want to support him and he wasn’t even leaving our house. Through his time at NOS he was shown kindness and support by teachers with a deep understanding of EBSA and of Neurodivergent pupils. He thrived here, he achieved GCSEs we were once told he would never get, and now he’s an outgoing confident young man who went into the world with all the tools he needed to succeed thanks to the schools approach and his teachers care and support. My daughter spent 6 months at NOS in her crucial year 11, she had 30% attendance in year 10 and in year 11 at her school and she too was broken by the system. In the space of 6 months running up to her GCSEs she was supported, cared for and given the education she deserved in the way that she needed it. She achieved 8 GCSEs all passed thanks to the hard work and dedication of her teachers at NOS. We cannot thank the school enough for everything they have done for us.

NOS has been an amazing school for my child. They are able to do all the learning they would in a mainstream school, but from the comfort of home. The staff make regular contact and keep me up to date with what is happening. The therapy groups are also great for my child. They love D&D. We would be lost without NOS

My child is learning very little, and gets told he's doing well.
I would never recommend this school to anyone. This is only for children who are academically able, and want to achieve.
There is a serious lack of information between staff, leaving my child misunderstood, when he's a seriously vunerable child.
He's also given very misleading information, causing frustration. We have had to call ofstead and the DFE to report them.
The school should be closed down.

As a parent of a child with additional needs, I had high hopes that TCES Online would offer the individualised and supportive environment they claim to provide. Unfortunately, our experience was quite the opposite.

The core issue lies in poor leadership and disorganised management. Communication was inconsistent and often unclear, with frequent changes and delays that left both us and our child in the dark. Promised support often failed to materialise, and there was a noticeable lack of understanding or responsiveness to individual needs and accountability for issues encountered.

I would strongly advise other parents to research thoroughly and consider alternative options before placing their child with TCES Online.
