Thurrock Council provides a range of services for students and school aged children to ensure they have the opportunity to release their potential and achieve excellence.

Support can be in the form of financial assistance by the award of grants or loans. We can also provide advice and support on health matters such as teenage pregnancy and medication whilst at school. Where parents/guardians choose to education their child at home, Thurrock's Pupil Improvement Officer (PIO) will provide assistance.
