Description

The school at Hackney city farm is Independent Secondary school in Not applicable for kids aged 13 to 17 (Gender - 13 to 17 )

For over 35 years, Hackney City Farm has been giving the local community the opportunity to experience farming right in the heart of the city. As a city farm in London, we are dedicated to helping people learn about food, nature and the environment. The unique setting inspires children and adults to participate in our courses, workshops and lessons and leave with new knowledge, friendships and inspiration. They receive about 3 school visits a week – school groups, like everyone else can visit for free! We offer specific workshops designed to take learning a step further, such as Growing Food, Habitats – Mini-beasts and Chicken and Egg. They are also home to a unique school for up to ten young people (age 13-17) who require a tailor-made approach to their education. The curriculum is based around basic skills, practical and vocational learning, PHSE and one-to-one or group mentoring.


 

Facilities

Curriculum
The school forms part of the much loved Hackney City Farm and our young people receive their education in a farm environment where they can gain skills in animal husbandry, horticulture, farm building maintenance, bicycle maintenance, cooking, and much more. The curriculum is based around basic skills, vocational education and personal development. The students are entered for Functional Skills examinations at Entry Level, Level 1 or Level 2 (GCSE equivalent) in Literacy, Numeracy and ICT. Some students also sit Maths GCSE. They use the Open College Network London to accredit our courses in animal husbandry, horticulture, bicycle maintenance and emergency first aid. We offer BTEC Level 1 and Level 2 Home Cooking Skills. A core component of the curriculum focuses on improving young people’s emotional and social wellbeing. This is delivered primarily through the PHSE curriculum, one-to-one tutoring and mentoring. A number of our students gain a Step Up Award in Personal Development accredited by the Open College Network London.
