About us
Hello, my name is Sharon
I set up Basil’s Farm after 20 years of working in a Special School and teaching in the outdoors. I have seen first-hand the incredible benefits that outdoor learning can have on a learner’s physical and mental wellbeing.
Each lesson at Basil’s Farm is specifically tailored to suit an individual’s needs, and a typical day can involve a diverse range of activities. Learners can develop skills in animal care and nutrition, tend to and grow vegetables in the allotment and learn how to cook food (which they have grown themselves) around the campfire. They develop confidence and learn how to relax in the outdoors whilst learning all the time.
Through my love of the outdoors, I encourage learners to use real-life situations to learn STEM subjects, and the various animals, including horses, dogs, and poultry, assist me when working with learners. I am a qualified Forest School Level 3 Leader and am fully insured, DBS checked, trained in Safeguarding and am a qualified First Aider.
