Manor Farm Specialist Education & 1:1 Provision
ALTERNATIVE PROVISION & EOTAS
Individual support through animal-assisted learning, nature and meaningful experiences.
At Manor Farm Experiences, we provide personalised Alternative Provision for children and young people who thrive outside a traditional classroom.
Our calm, welcoming farm offers a safe space where confidence grows, relationships develop and learning becomes enjoyable again.
Every programme is tailored to the individual, helping young people build skills, improve emotional wellbeing and rediscover a love of learning.
