Head of CSS
Welcome to Children’s Support Services. We are a team of professionals, relentless in our desire to secure the very best life chances and educational outcomes for the children and young people we have the privilege to serve.
We utilise the wealth of skills and expertise offered by our highly trained teams of qualified teachers, instructors, mentors and counsellors to create and deliver bespoke, short-stay education packages for our students aged between 5 and 16.
Children and young people who attend either our Wickford or Basildon sites benefit from brand new, state of the art educational facilities including fully equipped science labs, design and technology classrooms, high spec gym equipment and ICT facilities. This, combined with our extensive enrichment programme ranging from London theatre trips, rally car racing to Duke of Edinburgh expeditions enables us to provide an exceptional educational offering.
We go “that extra mile” in supporting our children and young people on their journey onwards either to their post-16 destination, back to their primary or secondary school or to a new school setting - equipping them with the skills they need socially, emotionally and educationally to secure success.
We are further proud to offer a team of outreach teachers and mentors who specialise in offering training and support to teachers across primary and secondary schools in Essex, whilst also individually supporting children and young people who face challenges within their primary or secondary school.
Our commitment is to our children and young people, our philosophy is simple, children and young people only get one childhood, and we are determined to secure a future that is bright for them all.
