Creating better opportunities for children and young people

We unlock potential, one student at a time, through tailored tuition and wellbeing support

At OCEM, we provide bespoke tuition and emotional wellbeing programmes for children and young people with SEMH who need specialist support. All children deserve access to a nurturing and exclusive learning environment. Our dedication extends to promoting the social agility of every child while closely monitoring safeguarding. We’re committed to establishing a secure learning environment through unwavering support and professionalism.

We are OCEM

Who do we support?

  • Children with SEMH and challenging behaviours

  • Children out of school

  • Children unable to access mainstream education

  • Children in school who require additional support

  • Children and young people with social, emotional and mental health needs
