Larkrise Community Farm is an Alternative Provision that provides an alternative, hands-on learning environment that helps students to reach their full potential.

What we do

Larkrise Community Farm strives to create a welcoming, supportive environment for children and young people to grow and learn. We work closely with education authorities to help children with a range of needs to re-engage with education and improve confidence within the classroom.

We focus on working in small teams to improve social and emotional awareness and regulation, helping to develop life-long skills to support students in school and their home lives. Our methods of working with animals in a spacious environment and as part of small groups helps ease anxiety and allows room for us to adapt to students' needs. We work hard to ensure every student is able to achieve and succeed to the best of their ability.

Through sharing our knowledge, love and care of farm animals our students build self-esteem and confidence. They develop unique bonds with our animals and lasting friendships with their peers. Students at Larkrise Community Farm complete AQA Unit Awards which are certificates of achievement. These short practical awards empower students to enhance their skills in areas of interest as well as build a sense of achievement and success.
