Mainstream school isn’t the right fit for everyone—and that’s perfectly fine.
At Higher Farm Education, we recognise that traditional education does not work for everyone. Many young
people can feel disconnected, lack confidence, and worry that "school is not for them." This often leads to disengagement, which can be made worse by unmet social and emotional needs, hindering both progress and happiness.
That’s why we’re here—to provide a supportive, flexible, and engaging environment where learners can rediscover their confidence, develop new skills, and thrive in a way that works for them.
Our alternative
Our curriculum offers a practical, hands-on approach tailored to each learner. Built on trust and strong relationships, we create a culture of inclusion where every day is a chance to start fresh and grow.
By changing the setting and dropping formalities, we make learning less daunting and more accessible. This helps learners feel safe, comfortable, and ready to engage
Our Team:
Our team consists of humans and a wide variety of animals, all working together to create the unique and inspiring environment that makes Higher Farm Education stand out.
Our Learning
All our learning activities are tailored to learners' needs, and we work at their pace during transitions. Our experienced staff are here to listen, support, and encourage along the way. Together, we create a strong sense of community where everyone feels valued.
Thank you for joining us!
A big thank you from all of us at Higher Farm Education. Our first Open Day was a resounding success and thank you to the 150 people who braved the chilly temperature to come and see us and get involved. There were so many talented novices attempting the circus skills and our alpacas loved being fed...continuously. All our animals enjoyed the attention, as did our staff, who enjoyed showcasing what we do.
There were a few complaints though from our cafe staff who had to make so many of our special hot chocolates with marshmallows.... but then again, they were the prizes for successful completion of our treasure hunt!!
We look forward to inviting you all back again for another Open Day in the summer term.
Watch out for the date landing in our social media!
