Home Education Groups
Fantastic and fun alternative education provision for Home Educating families in Exeter, Exmouth, Ilfracombe, Totnes and Okehampton
Aimed at children over 6 years old, our Home Education Groups are a great opportunity for children to embark upon a programme of exciting forest school activities that develop practical skills, creativity, confidence, and teamwork. Children are encouraged to make their own decisions and judgements and work together as part of a group in a relaxed, outdoor environment. Our experienced forest school leaders are on hand to guide children through a variety of activities and challenges, but they also empower children to use their own ideas and, of course, give them the space and freedom to play.

The Woodlanders
Does your child struggle to integrate in a group?
If thriving in a group environment doesn’t come naturally to your child, then we have created a group specifically for neuro-diverse children which aims to help them transition into the forest school environment.
The Woodlanders group runs simultaneously on a Monday with the Home Education group at Exmouth with our Inclusion Lead present. For more information on this group, please visit our FAQ page.
