Meet The Team
Our Human Team
Our dedicated and friendly team is at the heart of our provision. With extensive experience in alternative education and SEND support, our friendly staff work closely with each young person to provide nurturing, personalised learning.
Combining specialist educational expertise with a genuine passion for animals, our team uses positive human–animal relationships to build confidence, support emotional wellbeing and help young learners develop the skills they need to thrive and prepare for working life.
Our Animal Team
At our Alternative Provision Education Centre, our wonderful team of animals play a vital role in the learning and personal development process of our young learners.
Young learners have the opportunity to work closely with a wide variety of farm and small animals, gaining hands-on experience that supports City & Guilds qualifications whilst developing practical, transferable skills for working life.
For many learners, particularly those with SEND, the relationships formed with animals can be transformative building confidence, encouraging communication and promoting emotional wellbeing.
Through care, responsibility and connection, our animals help create meaningful learning experiences that support growth, engagement and positive outcomes.
