Alternative Classroom: Chilli Farm
The College partners with Butcombe Farm’s philanthropic venture Uncle Paul’s Chilli Charity, to pioneer an ‘alternative classroom’ model in natural surroundings to re-engage vulnerable and at risk learners who have struggled in a formal education setting. Learners with SEND are supported through its nationally recognised specialist support model, delivered by highly qualified specialist practitioners in a natural environment.
The empowerment ethos successfully builds confidence and employability skills. The entrepreneurial and immersive learning programmes are built around the real world learning opportunities of developing and sustaining, a not for profit organic chilli farm, to nurture undiscovered entrepreneurial talent.
