Our Alternative Provision Education Centre offers City & Guilds qualifications in Horse Care and Small Animal Care, alongside Functional Skills in English and Maths. These courses provide practical, hands-on learning combined with essential academic skills, supporting confidence, independence and employability while helping young people progress towards positive future pathways.










We offer Functional Skills in Maths and English from Entry Level 1 through to Level 2, providing personalised 1-to-1 and small group sessions designed to make learning engaging, practical, and relevant. Our unique farm environment provides a hands-on backdrop that brings lessons to life in ways a traditional classroom cannot.
Our experienced functional skills facilitator, excels at creating immersive learning experiences. In Maths, students might explore the farm by identifying plants and trees, collecting data for statistics, or calculating ratios for animal feed. In English, learning often starts with real-world tasks such as cleaning equipment before transforming observations into step-by-step instructions or researching safe foods for animals and creating informative posters for farm visitors.
Functional Skills should be meaningful, accessible, and enjoyable for every learner. By linking lessons to real farm activities, we aim to help students build confidence, independence, and practical skills that enhance both their education and everyday life.
At Higher Farm Education, learning is more than classroom-based it’s hands-on, engaging, and truly relevant to the world around our learners.
