20 years of helping young people grow and thrive

Since 2006, Stable & Wild has been supporting children and young people who face barriers to education, helping them build confidence, reconnect with learning and move towards a positive future.

​

Set within our rural Bedfordshire environment, we combine animals, nature and a trauma-informed, therapeutic approach to education to support children and young people from age 5 through to post-16.

​

We support children and young people with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND), Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) needs, Emotionally Based School Non-Attendance (EBSNA) and other barriers to education, including those with Education, Health and Care Plans (EHCPs).

​

From early intervention and emotional regulation to re-engagement, alternative provision and recognised qualifications, our highly personalised programmes provide flexible support through individual sessions, small groups and structured learning pathways.

​

Through meaningful experiences with animals and the natural world, we help young people develop confidence, positive relationships, resilience and transferable skills that extend beyond Stable & Wild into education, home and everyday life.

​

A different environment. A way forward.

“I think J has really enjoyed his time [at Stable & Wild]. He’s enjoyed being able to spend time outdoors, with animals, and be away from the formal school setting. I know he really liked spending time with the animals and we all had a good laugh when he came home and did his impression of Jack the donkey. I think it's been invaluable for him to have some space to do something different and in a small group setting. I am pretty sure he'll miss it once he stops going.

Thanks for having him on the programme.”​
