Founder and staff at TCES Nurture primary, which has not excluded a child in 25 years, say key factor is how support is delivered
In many ways, it looks like any other primary school. There is a library, a cafeteria, classrooms, and a noticeboard celebrating the star of the week. But it is different in one crucial respect: in 25 years, this London alternative provision has not excluded a single pupil.

Staff at TCES Nurture primary in Newham, east London, believe their model offers some answers.
