Why Choose Higher Farm Hub
The Team
The Education Team includes Teachers, Social Workers, equestrian coaches, therapeutic horsemanship coaches and a pastoral team with a wide range of skills and knowledge to support young people who maybe experiencing social, emotional or mental health difficulties. in conjunction with our recognised and approved qualifications we follow our own values and star outcome charts with the focus being on providing an environment where all young people can flourish and realise their potential.
We are based with a licenced Riding Establishment and Pony club Centre, if young people wish to re-engage in learning without a qualification, we offer Pony Club achievement badges, animal care and riding awards, providing tangible success through fun learning. The achievement badges cover a variety of topics including a range of horse care skills, knots, public speaking, independence learning, forest school and farming to name a few, so there is something that appeals to every young person accessing our education service.
We also offer a 6 week therapeutic horsemanship enrichment programme and a 6 week ' return to learn' animal assisted learning.
young people who generally access our service have an EHCP who are referred to us through schools and local authorities. We are currently on the alternative education provider list for Cheshire East and Cheshire West and Chester framework. we work with young people from the ages of 5 upwards for our pony club and enrichment programme
