FunDevelopment

We have secondary spaces after half term, we need full funding as we are out of grant spaces. This is £65 a session (usually from a school / LA / EHCP).

We are online and 1:1. All our team are ND.

Current spaces:
Jo F Thursday 2pm - english
Jo T Thursday 10am - maths
Jo T Thursday 3pm - maths

Jo F teaches English (including GCSE). This can be any topic which can be deep dived, researched and explored. It can be GCSE focused too.

Jo T teaches Maths (including GCSE). This can start through playing chess online together or other maths games or start by looking at maths GCSE.

Staff profiles are on our website, the link is below in the comments.

Hatton school for vulnerable children to open second site Northleigh House School in Hatton teaches children who have left mainstream education.

🔥 If a child isn’t attending school, ask why… not why not.

Because here’s the truth...
No child chooses to struggle.
No child wants to feel unsafe, unwelcome, or unheard.
And no amount of attendance fines, threats, or behaviour policies will solve what’s actually going wrong.

✨ This is the Learner’s Hierarchy of Needs.
Inspired from research by Zullig et al, we have created this for you; we were guided by our decades of insight too!

It shows us one very important thing:
Connection can’t happen unless the foundations are safe.

No child can thrive without basic needs being met - physically, emotionally, relationally. That means:
Toilets they can access safely.
Classrooms they feel safe in.
Teachers who understand their needs.
A community that sees them, as they are.
If a child isn’t making it through the school gate on a Monday morning, it’s not because they’re “refusing” to go.

It’s because something deeper is not right. And until we meet those needs, true inclusion remains out of reach.

🌤 Whether you’re a parent feeling the heartbreak of daily battles, or a teacher watching a child slowly disappear - please know you are not alone. We see you. We hear you.

And that’s why School Avoidance Awareness Week exists - because the system is overdue a reckoning.

Let’s change the climate. Let’s build schools where children want to be.

A super hot day at the farm meant ice lollies in the shade, this afternoon ☀️

We paddled in the stream and looked for damselflies, crickets and butterflies, using our nets and magnifying pots to get a closer look 🔬
