Manor Farm Specialist Education & 1:1 Provision

 

​​Education Other Than At School (EOTAS) & Bespoke Support

At Manor Farm, we provide specialist, individualised support for children and young people who are unable to access or thrive within mainstream education.

We work with pupils who:

• Have an EHCP

• Are undergoing statutory assessment

• Are accessing provision through an EOTAS package

• Require a personalised, smaller learning environment

• Need support with emotional regulation and re-engagement

Our provision combines structured learning with animal-assisted engagement, creating a calm, nurturing space where children can rebuild confidence and rediscover a sense of success.

Who We Support

We support children and young people with a range of needs, including:

• SEMH (Social, Emotional and Mental Health needs)

• Autism and ADHD

• Anxiety and school-based trauma

• Emotionally based school avoidance

• Low confidence or disengagement

• Behaviour linked to unmet needs

Each programme is designed around the individual child — there is no “one size fits all” approach.

What We Offer

1:1 Specialist Sessions

Bespoke one-to-one sessions tailored to EHCP outcomes and personal development goals.

Sessions may include:

• Emotional regulation strategies

• Social communication development

• Confidence and independence building

• Functional literacy and numeracy

• Animal care and responsibility

• Life skills and practical learning

Our environment allows children to feel safe, understood and valued — often for the first time in their educational journey.

• SEN teams

• Caseworkers

• Schools and SENCOs

Intended Outcomes

Where appropriate, we align our work with:

• EHCP targets

Our aim is not simply attendance — it is progress, confidence and sustainable change.
