At Heartwood House we understand that mainstream school isn't for everyone. Most of our students have tried lots of different ways of learning that haven't worked, and they often feel disillusioned and often let down by the adults around them. For this reason we strive to be totally different to any other educational experience they have had.
We aim to create a homely, welcoming, safe, and non-judgemental community. It is really important that we build strong, supportive relationships with our students, without this, none of our other work can take place. We take the time to get to know our students and what interests them, what they find difficult, what they would like to get from their time with us.
For many student who join us, it is the first time they have felt "heard" and that their opinion is valued.
