The leading aim of our Provision is:

1. To meet young people’s needs and create a gateway to a better future.

2. Children who have attended our Provision have successfully moved to full time education or have been able to sustain a place in mainstream education with our support.

3. They have learnt to regulate themselves and develop relationships which are satisfying and meaningful and which will sustain them throughout their lives.

4. They leave our provision with a better prospect of a healthy mental and physical life ahead of them.

5. They leave with a better relationship with themselves and deeper self esteem.

6. They leave with a confidence in themselves as learners and a thirst for knowledge.

1. Identifying gaps and misconceptions in core curricula areas in order to provide the right materials and equipment and teaching to meet needs.

2. To recognise and support the development of Schema.

3. To recognising the child’s level of development, socially, emotionally and intellectually.

4. To acknowledge and make provision for missed educational and personal experiences.

5. To recognising attachment behaviour.

6. To recognising Trauma and its effects.

7. To recognising behaviour as communication.

8. To create opportunities to develop self awareness of all aspects of self.

9. To build an understanding (where appropriate ) of how the mind and body are connected and how the brain develops.

10. To use horses and ponies as a “Third Space” in which to work

11. Re integrate children and young people back into education

We meet these objectives using a number of factors including working inside the PACE (Dan Hughes) framework, having an awareness of attachment behaviours and working within specific learning domains.
