Curriculum
At Nature and Nurture Education, our curriculum, weaves therapeutic support and education to help children to develop healthy secure attachment relationships, as well as build self-esteem and emotional resilience.
Guided by clinical psychologists, specialist therapists and experienced educators, our curriculum blends National Curriculum essentials with therapeutic practice, outdoor adventure and real-world projects. Every activity is deliberately chosen to nurture regulation, curiosity and independence so that each young person can re-engage with learning and reach their individual goals.
