Our Specialist Services
At Liberty in the Wild, our services are guided by one belief: Every child deserves a place where they can grow in their own way.
Our approach blends therapeutic practice, relational support, curriculum enhancement, creative arts, sports and nature-based experiences. We work closely with schools, Local Authorities and families to create personalised pathways that meet each child’s emotional, social and academic needs.
Rooted in the idea that there is a branch for every child, our services form part of all three Liberty in the Wild pathways:
The Wilderness – Alternative Provision
The Woodland – Proposed Independent Specialist School
