The London Borough of Enfield was one of 14 LEAs chosen to pilot the Technical and Vocational Education Initiative (TVEI) in September 1983. A unique feature of the scheme at the time was the inclusion of West Lea, a school for delicate children between five and 16, among the 12 schools and two colleges of further education taking part. Terence Bailey, senior adviser, special education, and Michael Hearn, assistant education officer (TVEI), London Borough of Enfield, describe the experiment, following up the theme of the December 1987 issue on new national curriculum and training initiatives 14–19.
