Higher Farm Education, is an 'Alternative Provision' education facility located on a 100acre Equine farm based near Knutsford in Cheshire.
We are a specialist educational setting designed to support children and young people with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) who need more outside of the mainstream education provision.
We recognise that traditional education does not work for everyone. Many young people can feel disconnected, lack confidence, and worry that "school is not for them." This often leads to disengagement, which can be made worse by unmet social and emotional needs, hindering both progress and happiness.
That’s why we’re here to provide a supportive, flexible, and engaging environment where learners can rediscover their confidence, develop new skills, and thrive in a way that works for them.

It is our mission to re-engage young people with SEND back into Education and provide them with a pathway to employability through bespoke practical learning experiences.
Our unique Farm and Countryside setting provides the foundation to nurture wellbeing, build trust and develop independence; to be successful in life.

Our curriculum offers a practical, hands-on approach tailored to each learner. Built on trust and strong relationships, we create a culture of inclusion where every day is a chance to start fresh and grow.
By changing the setting and dropping formalities, we make learning less daunting and more accessible. This helps learners feel safe, comfortable, and ready to engage.

All our learning activities are tailored to learners' needs, and we work at their pace during transitions.
Our experienced staff are here to listen, support, and encourage along the way. Together, we create a strong sense of community where everyone feels valued.
