Service summary

Emotional wellbeing, mindfulness and inclusion are at the heart of Greatwood’s Animal Assisted Intervention (AAI) educational programmes. Learners work with former racehorses and other animals to build confidence, self-esteem and resilience.

We also have a small sensory/wildlife garden, polytunnel and vegetable plots where learners can plant, grow and harvest their own produce. Our woodland provides space for learners to explore nature and wildlife. We want learners to develop life skills and transferable skills that will support them moving forwards.

Our primary aged programme, ‘HorsePower’, offers learners the opportunity to develop social and communication skills and to increase their self-esteem through interaction with small animals and rescued ex-racehorses. 

At secondary age we offer courses accredited by the National Open College Network, 1st4Sport and ASDAN.

Functional Skills from Entry Level 1 to Level 2 can also be taught and examined here. All courses include time spent with our animals.

We can create bespoke packages to suit learners’ individual needs. Termly feedback relating to learner progress is provided.
