A specialist, therapeutic education campus where every young person is known, supported and enabled to thrive.

Sapling Green Farm is The Alternative School Trust’s farm-based campus, home to our farm school and nursery provision. Set in the Lancashire countryside, pupils learn through hands-on, therapeutic education — caring for animals, horticulture and outdoor learning alongside a full academic curriculum.

Our approach combines small class sizes, high staff ratios and a nurturing environment that enables every child and young person to re-engage with learning and thrive.

What we offer

  • Farm-based alternative provision and therapeutic education
  • Nursery and early years provision
  • Animal care, horticulture and outdoor learning
  • Full academic curriculum with nationally recognised qualifications
  • Transitions support back into mainstream or onward to further education
