Young people based at Hopefields School can take part in The Montana Project as part of their core offer. This involvement informs their ASDAN, NOCN and AQA accredited qualifications and provides a therapeutic and holistic learning experience.
Students who are not attending school, or who are struggling to fully engage with learning can access the farm on a short or long term basis, in weekly sessions or for a time to suit the school/referrer or family. This could be for therapeutic and/or educational intervention.
A full Level 1 diploma and accredited study programme in Equine and Small Animal Care is available for learners studying and engaging with us over a longer period of time.
AQA unit awards are on offer for those who are with us for a shorter intervention package.
Young people who are home educated (EHE) or undertake Flexi-schooling can access the farm for forest school sessions and/or accredited courses.
EHE sessions are held on Thursday mornings during term time 9.30 - 11.30am.
Led by Clare, our forest school leader, in a purpose-built forest school and smallholding environment.
As a Community Interest Company, TMP is focused on community working and engagement. We are always looking to offer our time and expertise, sharing our farm location with those across Teesside who need it most.
