Email from Keyworkers:
Students on site have spent time making some bags for keyworkers. These were presented to Monread Lodge, who emailed us to say:
"Lovely to meet you today when you were taking time to deliver the bags that had been made. These certainly help the staff when carrying their property around and some of our residents like them to keep their belongings in so I can assure you that they will be well received. We thank you for thinking of us and appreciate your generosity." - Monread Lodge Nursing and Residential Home, Knebworth
Email from parent of a Year 11 student:
"Thank you for calling me earlier today to confirm that my son has been offered a place at the Stevenage College to learn plumbing. I have spoken to my son and his mother and we are all in agreement that he would like to accept this place please. I'm not sure if we will get to speak again but just in case we don't, I just wanted to thank you and all of the staff at the ESC for all of your help with with my son's education. To be honest, I wish he'd come to the ESC several years ago but I think when he eventually did, this was the best thing that could have happened for him. So please pass on my thanks to your colleagues. It really is much appreciated."
Thank you to local charity Feed up Warm up who have just given us food parcels for our families in most need.
We appreciate your help in keeping local families provided for during these difficult times.
Welcome to the Stevenage Education Support Centre
We are an organisation designed to work with young people, schools, families and other associated professionals.
We are a Key Stage 3 and Key Stage 4 Centre based in Collenswood Road, Stevenage. On this site we provide education for young people in KS3 and KS4 who are permanently excluded or at risk of permanent exclusion from their school whether in Stevenage or elsewhere in North Hertfordshire.
Our aim is to assist the young people in returning to a permanent full time education placement whether it be a school or elsewhere. We will then assist in supporting their re-integration. In addition to the on-site provision above we also provide, when space allows, opportunities for full time Respite places for half term blocks. In the afternoons we offer a ‘Back on Track’ Group for those young people who need a little refocusing on their school provision.
Our Outreach Service works with schools in the Stevenage area both Primary and Secondary to assist in preventing permanent exclusions and reducing the numbers of pupils at risk.
Added to this we also support our local schools in the development of their staff through Behaviour Support Network Groups and in providing training opportunities/experience allowing staff to build up knowledge and experience.
Visitors, whether parents or associated professionals, are always welcome.
Dan Nearney, Headteacher

Parent Comment:
"I strongly believe since my son has started the ESC he has completely changed his behaviour and attitude, they have not only supported him but us as a family and I couldn't ask for better staff they are all fantastic.
Thank you."
