HOME SCHOOL PROGRAMME
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.
