Choosing the Right Learning Programme

We offer a range of practical learning opportunities at Frampton Farm and Poppies Farm, including vocational qualifications, alternative provision, home education programmes and flexible learning.

Choosing the right programme depends on the learner's interests, age, abilities, previous experience and individual learning goals.

Our team can help families explore the available options and understand the different approaches to learning, including group courses, individual tuition and hybrid programmes.

For vocational qualifications, we'll also consider whether the learner is ready to meet the required learning and assessment criteria.

We encourage families to contact us before enrolling if they are unsure which programme would be most appropriate.

Pre-Visits & Meeting the Team

We understand that visiting a new learning environment can feel unfamiliar, particularly for learners who need additional reassurance or support.

Where appropriate, we can arrange a pre-visit to explore the farm, meet our team and discuss individual learning needs.

This provides an opportunity to consider whether the environment, activities and available support are suitable before starting.

Enrolment & Registration

Once a suitable programme has been agreed, we'll provide the relevant enrolment information and confirm session arrangements.

Families may be asked to complete enrolment forms, provide learner information and make any required payments before starting.

For accredited courses, additional registration details may be required by the awarding organisation.

Enrolment

It is important that all requested information is completed accurately, including emergency contacts, medical information and any additional support needs.

 

Induction

Depending on the programme, learners may complete an induction covering the learning environment, farm safety, expected behaviour and relevant course information.

For vocational qualifications, this may also include an introduction to assessment requirements, learning resources and individual goals.

 

Your First Session

Our team will introduce learners to the session arrangements, relevant staff and learning activities.

We recognise that some learners may need additional time to settle into a new environment, and we aim to provide a supportive introduction appropriate to their needs.

Moodle & Online Learning

For many of our vocational qualifications and flexible learning programmes, learners will use Moodle, our online learning platform.

Moodle provides access to course materials, learning activities, worksheets and assessments, allowing learners to continue their studies between practical sessions.

Where applicable, learners will receive login details and guidance on accessing their course during enrolment or induction.

Some programmes combine online theory with practical training and assessment at the farm, while others use Moodle to support regular face-to-face teaching.

Our team can provide guidance if learners experience difficulties accessing their learning materials.

Supporting a Positive Start

We recognise that every learner is different, and starting a new programme may require individual planning and support.

We encourage parents, carers, schools and professionals to share relevant information about learning needs, communication preferences, medical requirements and any concerns before enrolment.

This helps our team consider suitable teaching approaches, reasonable adjustments and appropriate support arrangements.

As our learning centres are based in working farm environments, we also consider individual safety, accessibility and suitability when planning placements.

Our aim is to help learners feel welcomed, supported and ready to develop confidence and independence.

Whether you're exploring a new qualification, looking for an alternative approach to education or interested in one of our home education programmes, we'd be happy to help you take the next step.
