About Us

The company, formed by Jon Lees and Steve Lord, opened its first establishment, Avocet House, in Norfolk in April 2005, providing high quality residential care and education with a difference, Turnstone House opened in 2012 following the same ethos.

In 2020 SES Kite opened its first post 18 Residential provision in Suffolk, followed by Supported Accommodation for those aged 16+ in June 2022.

 

SES Ltd was conceived around a passionate conviction: all children, regardless of past difficulties and traumas, have the internal resources, however fragmented, to manage successful transitions to independence and educational achievement given appropriate support. They may well also have previously undiscovered gifts and talents that can be developed.

Most in need of this faith and belief are those children who are in 52 week care with the highest needs and most complex situations.

Having had a successful track record in working with children with special educational needs in the maintained residential special school sector, Jon Lees and Steve Lord saw great potential for innovation and development of their vision through an independent company where the “no limits” thinking could be applied. The same principles underpin our highly personalised, community based, post 16 provisions.
