The company delivers alternative education programmes for students with special educational needs and disabilities, using a combination of practical outdoor and indoor activities to support curriculum progress, teach practical skills and improve emotional and social wellbeing.
Through its primary, secondary and post-16 programmes, the company caters to students from age six through to 24, delivering engaging and practical 1:1 sessions that take place across attractive indoor and outdoor environments that are designed to increase engagement, support learning and wellbeing, and provide enrichment.
Programmes cover a range of activities, including bushcraft, arts and crafts, cooking and animal care, all of which are carefully designed to support English, maths and science abilities in a low-pressure environment.
Over its years in operation, the company has built up an excellent reputation and longstanding relationships with a number of local authorities, some of which have awarded it approved provider status. These relationships generate a continually increasing stream of
dependable income, which is drawn from a student’s protected education, health and care plan funding.
