North Farm House
Where Learning Meets Nurture

A unique educational experience in the heart of nature, fostering growth through animal care and hands-on

learning. North Farm is a nurturing community where children learn and grow through close interaction with

nature and animals. Set in a charming farmhouse, North Farm House blends academic learning with the therapeutic benefits of caring for small animals, creating an holistic learning environment that supports the emotional, social, and intellectual development of each young person.

About North Farm House:
North Farm House has been developed on the belief that children thrive in environments where they feel connected to the world around them. Located in a picturesque farmhouse in the village of Budby, our school started as a small, niche provision for neurodiverse young people and those that may have experienced early life trauma. Here, students engage with nature every day, learning the value of empathy, responsibility, and teamwork through the care of our resident animals.

The North Farm House Vision:
To nurture and educate children through a unique blend of academics, nature-based learning, and animal care, fostering compassionate, resilient individuals ready to thrive in the world.

The North Farm House Curriculum Offer:
At North Farm House our learners engage in a rich curriculum that blends core academic subjects with project-based learning. Lessons take place both indoors and outdoors, where students learn science through gardening, math through building projects, and responsibility through daily animal care routines. We offer specialised provision for young people with a range of different learning needs. These programs are tailored to provide sensory-rich experiences that help children develop focus, communication, and social skills in a supportive and nurturing environment.

Our Animals
At North Farm House our animals are not just pets; they are our teachers and friends. Each animal plays a unique role in our learners’ education, from teaching responsibility, animal welfare and empathy to providing comfort and companionship.
