Welcome
Our Alternative Provision is designed to meet the needs of students who are currently unable to access mainstream school, college, or special educational settings. This service is also accessed by schools as part of their enhanced curriculum, offering students a valuable opportunity for respite from the everyday demands of traditional education.

How can we help
I would like to…
…learn more about alternative provision
Branching Out offers an Alternative Provision for students who are unable to access mainstream or specialist education. Our nature- and animal-based sessions are student-led and designed to build confidence, emotional regulation, and wellbeing. Activities include animal care, gardening, and creative projects, all tailored to individual needs. We provide one-to-one, neuro-affirming support in a safe and inclusive environment, helping young people feel empowered and connected. Our holistic approach builds trust, involving families and professionals to create a nurturing space where each child can thrive.
…learn more about Specialist Outreach Service
Our Specialist Outreach Service supports young people who may feel overwhelmed leaving home, by meeting them where they feel safest—their own space. With a trauma-informed, neuro-affirming approach, our trained team builds trust gently and at the individual’s pace, sometimes with the help of Dexter, our therapy dog. We focus on emotional safety first, offering empathy and zero pressure. When ready, students are supported to gradually access our nature-based farm hub, helping them build confidence, explore emotions, and develop trust in others—empowering them to move forward in their own time.
