Centre Academy East Anglia

Like all parents, you want your child to be happy.

But if you are the parent of a child with learning challenges, you may have found this desire frustrated by the problems within a mainstream environment: classes of 25 or 30 students; teachers without special needs training or experience; supply teachers who do not know your child; achievements measured in targets and national norms; a lack of individualised help from fully qualified professionals; the scarcity of a provision that denies your child the therapeutic assistance to which he or she is entitled.

And perhaps most of all, a "one size fits all" approach to learning and SEN. You will know the cost of such difficulties for your child: Unhappiness. Frustration. Poor Attendance. You will also be concerned by your child's lack of confidence, poor self-image and, especially, increasing anxiety.
