The Area We Serve
Many of our students come from universities based in major cities (or indeed other countries) and it is quite different undertaking a placement in a rural area. Here is a flavour of the areas that we work in in East Anglia with links to the county council websites to show you details of the major towns including demographic and economic information:

Information on the Local Education Authorities in England and Wales
A Local Education Authority (LEA) is the part of a local council, or local authority (LA), in England and Wales that is responsible for education within that council's jurisdiction. The phrase is now obsolete in official use, but is still frequently used informally to refer to the Education Department of the relevant local authority, which has now largely ceased to exist following the statutory requirement under the Children Act 2004 that these councils appoint a Director of Children's Services whose responsibilities include those of the former Education department and what used to be known as Children's Social Services.
