The Achievement Centre, known as ACe, aims to enrich and optimise learning experiences through a child-centred and holistic approach that motivates, challenges, stimulates and supports the needs of the individual child. In addition to supporting individual learning needs, other factors are also considered, which may impact on learning, such as vision, diet, physical co-ordination and auditory skills.
