HOME SCHOOL PROGRAMME

Farm School Logo.png

Frankly Farm School offers children a unique, different and alternative way of being educated through the world of farming.

 

Our Home School programme is delivered by Natalie, who has been in teaching for over 18 years in primary school settings and for 10 of those years worked primarily with children with special educational needs. This is then partnered with the learning Natalie has done since developing the farming business to give real life and hands on experience with the animals.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What age groups are the sessions suitable for?

Our sessions are designed for primary school age groups, from 4 to 10.

Do parents have to attend the session?​

Yes. We ask that parents stay with the children for the duration of the session. You won't be expected to join in, but are more than welcome to participate alongside your child(ren) if you wish.

Is there a charge for parents to attend?

No. 

Can other children who are not participating attend the session?

Any child aged 3 and under may attend at no charge. However, they must be supervised at all times by parents. If you have children older than 3 who you wish to attend, but not be involved in the session, please contact us to discuss.

What clothing and footwear should children wear?

Our sessions take place in a rural farmyard setting. Depending on the time of year, sturdy waterproof footwear is advised. Warm clothing is essential in colder weather. Some activities may be messy, so clothing suitable for getting dirty or damaged would be recommended.
