Redbourn Roots
Alternative Provision - Tutoring, Therapy & Wellbeing Services
Redbourn Roots provides therapeutic alternative provision for young people in KS2–KS4 who may be struggling to attend or access school, including those experiencing EBSA or with complex needs. Referrals can be made by families, schools or the local authority.
Our flexible programmes can combine tuition, STEM, sport, therapy and wellbeing, including Wild Roots forest-school activities, animal care, music and sensory sessions. Places are currently available at both sites.
Roots is available in Hertfordshire and at our Buckinghamshire site, Fenn Farm, Rowsham, HP22 3QP. Places are limited and visits are by appointment. Email roots@redbournpark.co.uk.
What we do
We offer sessions with our team that focus on a child's wellbeing. This could be social visits, horse riding/stables, climbing, trips, experiences or as simple as getting to know a new adult through safe activities they prefer.
This is often a key component of supporting a child into school or accessing other services.
​
Wellbeing
We also have a range of activities focused on wellbeing that are outside of the norm.
​
Accessing our local stables with support, bespoke art sessions, music sessions and much more provide a highly enriching and confidence building experience.
Music, sensory, stables, art & more
Our specialist teacher or tutor can deliver adapted sessions that focus learning on specific areas. This can be used to assess gaps in learning as well as build confidence and knowledge in key areas to prepare the child for their next phase of education.
​
The specialist tutor is often best used to design and deliver an intervention program, bringing all of our services together
Tuition
Therapy takes on several forms. Art, drama, play, talking therapy can be offered to explore, understand and support their needs.
We also have access to Occupational and Speech & Language therapies which are typically available as assessment or via observations and interventions as part of tuition.
