Roots and Shoots Learning
Who are we?
Welcome to Roots and Shoots Learning: Where Nature Nurtures Growth for Children with Social, Emotional, and Mental Health Difficulties
At Roots and Shoots Learning, we understand that every child's journey is unique, especially those facing social, emotional, and mental health difficulties. That's why we offer a nature-based learning provision tailored specifically for children aged 5-16 for whom the traditional school system is not the right fit. Serving across three counties – Beds, Bucks & Northants – our mission is to provide specialized SEMH interventions in nurturing natural environments.
Where learning and nature go hand in hand
Why Roots and Shoots Learning?
Roots and Shoots Learning is dedicated to laying the essential foundations for every child's educational journey, recognizing that without these foundational roots firmly in place, true progress is unattainable. We understand that each child's development is unique, shaped by their individual skills, beliefs, and emotions. Our approach emphasizes a deep understanding of the child's perspective and feelings, allowing us to address their needs holistically rather than imposing rigid structures.
Once these foundational elements are established, we witness the flourishing growth (shoots) of the child or young person. At Roots and Shoots Learning, we believe in nurturing this growth through our highly bespoke tuition services. Unlike traditional classroom-based approaches, our nature-based provisions offer a dynamic learning environment that encourages exploration and discovery. While we can conduct sessions in the home, we prioritize creating experiences in nature, recognizing its therapeutic value and its ability to inspire new perspectives.
Our commitment is to support each student at their own pace, respecting their readiness for new experiences and ensuring their well-being is always our top priority.
More about Roots and Shoots Learning
Our Approach
Roots and Shoots Learning is more than just a learning centre – it's a sanctuary where children can thrive amidst the healing power of nature. Our programs utilize nature-based settings, including farms, stables, wooded areas, and our dedicated learning base in Swanbourne, Buckinghamshire. By immersing children in these enriching environments, we create opportunities for growth, exploration, and learning in ways that traditional classrooms simply can't replicate.
Mission
Our commitment extends beyond academic achievement. We're dedicated to serving the SEN community, particularly in Buckinghamshire and surrounding areas, where children and parents are often overlooked or underserved. Through our philanthropic efforts, we strive to bridge the gaps in support and resources, ensuring that every child has access to the specialized care and education they deserve.
