An Alternative Provision (AP) is defined as ‘education outside school, arranged by local authorities or schools themselves‘. Local authorities can arrange education for young people who, because of exclusion, illness or other reasons, would not otherwise receive suitable education.
Fields & Farms is an alternative education provider, run as a not-for-profit organisation. We provide learning in an outdoor setting in a fun, stress-free and therapeutic way through activities in 5 Key Areas of Learning – Horticulture, Animal care, Horsemanship, Art and Design and Ground Care and Maintenance.
We take young people from the age 8 years upwards on a regular booking of half a day or a full day each week – see our Admissions & Times page for further info.
We support young people who have Autism, ADHD, or other neurodiverse conditions, as well as those with attachment disorders and social, emotional and mental health difficulties. Our aim is to help re-engage young people with learning where they have previously struggled within a classroom setting.
