Athena Education Support CIC

In the year 2024-2025, we have worked with 97 children and young people who are either in mainstream schools but are at risk of permanent exclusion or have been permanently excluded but are awaiting places through the Local Authority’s Transitional Education Service, Inclusion and Opportunity Service, Children’s Services. 100% of all children and young people we worked with for the year have • reintegrated successfully into their home schools without being permanently excluded from their main school. • Found school placements with either mainstream or special schools by the end of the 2nd or 3rd term with us because of the reports we provided • Accessed additional therapeutic interventions because of the observations we conducted at Athena Athena also supported 35 local and national families struggling to manage the needs of their children. Feedback received showed that all support offered was positively received. Due to the demand for the support services, we contracted a Systemic Family Therapist to lend further support to at least 15 families in Thetford. We have supported 4 families in applying for Education and Health Care Plans and Disability Living Allowance over the year.
