Service description:
Green Acres Farm Rural Enterprises is an ‘alternative education provision’ that offers informal education opportunities to young people and their families.
Some students need a structured and highly-individualised setting in order to make academic and personal progress. Green Acres offers a range of practical activities designed to boost low self-esteem and develop the interpersonal skills required for success in the workplace.
The provision is based on the theme of producing, cooking, and marketing food. It aims to support the development of practical skills that will be useful in daily life.
Teaching takes place in a safe, welcoming, and positive environment. Their horticultural and cooking activities are tailored to the individual needs of young people and also meet the requirements of the national curriculum.
