Where we work

Our sites

Each site suits a different stage of readiness. All three run on The WILD Framework®, so a young person can move between them and keep the same plan and records.

The Farm Campus

Animal care · Vocational skills · Outdoor learning

A practical, outdoor setting focused on animal care, land-based skills, construction and vocational learning. Learners spend much of the day outside, working with their hands and looking after animals.

Best suited to

Learners who regulate best outdoors and through movement
Vocational and land-based interests
