Welcome to Wild Mind Well-Being in Buckinghamshire. From our farm between the villages of Bourne End and Flackwell Heath we provide alternative provision for young people from year 6 up to the age of 25 with an EHCP. Our setting is designed to meet the needs of students who may struggle within traditional mainstream environments due to various factors such as behaviour, mental health, or special educational needs.

 

We offer a unique, nature-based approach to education and well-being, with a wide range of rescue animals playing a key role in our therapeutic environment. Our mission is to help our students to develop emotional resilience, practical skills, and personal growth through tailored programmes for each individual.

​

Our curriculum covers a broad range of study areas, including Animal Management, Life Skills, Social and Emotional Learning, and Construction, providing young people with the tools they need to thrive both personally and professionally. In addition to these structured learning opportunities, we offer mentoring programmes that provide one-on-one guidance, helping participants build confidence and emotional intelligence.

​

Wild Mind Well-Being CIC is rooted in the local community, working closely with schools, mental health professionals, and other organisations to provide comprehensive support for the young people we serve. By creating a safe, supportive space where individuals can reconnect with nature and learn valuable life skills, we aim to foster mental well-being and create positive, lasting change in the lives of our participants.

​

Through our commitment to holistic development, we are building a more resilient, empowered community and helping young people unlock their full potential.​ Coaches work with our students throughout the day on either a 1:1 or small group basis. Students achievements can be recognised through AQA Unit Awards & ASDAN Short Courses.

Referrals to our alternative provision come from various sources, including schools, local authorities, parents, and other agencies. These referrals address a range of needs, such as learning difficulties, disabilities, neurodiversity, behavioural challenges, or mental health concerns.

Whether integrated into Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND), incorporated into an Education Health and Care Plan (EHCP), or utilised as Alternative Education Provision, our care farm provides a holistic approach to well-being, fostering growth and development in a unique and supportive setting.
