JUNE Home Ed -Flexi Schooling -Alternative Education Block B (Summer 2025)

Our home ed group is for any child from 5 up to the age of 12 (or there about) who is home educated or flexi-schools. We don't follow a particular curriculum which allows us to respond to the group's own curiosities and desires to learn. The children will also learn new skills such as building fires, shelters, plan and cook our snack on the fire, work with tools, and make crafts using natural materials. These fortnightly sessions will help support our learners to forge friendships and be part of a community, develop skills in learning, playing and working collaboratively, taking risks, grow confidence and resilience.

​

These fortnightly sessions are drop off, however carers are more than welcome to stay if they would like to.
