Alternative Provision
Our alternative provision is organised into two blocks, designed to accommodate the individual needs of each child or young person and provide them with targeted support and opportunities to succeed.
The Horizon Block
The Horizon Block provides a calm, structured group setting where young people reconnect through meaningful, hands-on equine experiences. With a supportive staff-to-student ratio, learners build confidence, cooperation, and emotional awareness through real responsibilities in horse care and stable routines.
The Beacon Block
The Beacon Block offers a personalised, therapeutic program centred on equine-assisted therapy for children and young people needing high emotional support in a low-stimulation setting. With one-to-one or very small group sessions, learners follow a structured daily timetable tailored to their needs. The calm, natural rhythm of the equine environment helps reduce overwhelm, while therapeutic activities like grooming and caring for horses foster emotional healing, trust, and resilience—promoting mindfulness and emotional growth beyond the yard.
Purpose in every stride
At Growth Equestrian, 'Purpose in every stride' is more than a motto; it's our guiding principle. It embodies our commitment to infusing every interaction with intention, meaning, and a profound connection. We ensure that each service we offer actively contributes to the personal growth, emotional wellbeing and skill enhancement of our clients.
What do you want to be when you grow up?”
