Liberty in the Wild is a nurturing, creative and therapeutic educational provision for children and young people with diverse social, emotional, mental health and special educational needs. We provide flexible, personalised pathways that help each learner reconnect with learning, build confidence and move forward in their journey.

We recognise that every child’s path is different. Our approach is relational, nature-connected and responsive, allowing us to meet children where they are and support meaningful progress at the right pace.

🌿Our Model

Our work sits across five key strands, forming a connected pathway of support:

• The Wilderness – our Alternative Provision
• The Woodland – our proposed Independent Specialist School
• The Wild Meadow – our Post-16 Specialist Pathway
• Wild at Home – our Outreach Provision for children unable to access education
• Wild Roots – our Home Education subscription, supporting families who are choosing to learn at home

Each strand offers a different level of support, allowing us to respond to need with flexibility and intention — from early engagement through to long-term provision and transition into adulthood.

🌿 Our Approach

At Liberty in the Wild, we believe that connection comes before learning.

We create calm, supportive environments where children feel safe, understood and able to engage. Through a balance of structure, creativity and real-world experiences, we help young people to:

• rebuild trust in education
• develop emotional regulation and confidence
• engage with learning in a meaningful way
• explore their strengths and interests
• move forward into appropriate next steps

🌿 Our Team

Liberty in the Wild is led by a passionate team of practitioners, mentors, educators and advisors who bring a relational, therapeutic and nature-based approach to everything we do.

We work closely with families, schools, local authorities and professionals to ensure that every child receives the right support, at the right time, in the right way.
