About Us Haywards Farm School
Haywards Farm School is a unique learning environment that has the friendly, personal feel of a small village school, the nurturing feel of a home, whilst also being rich in specialist professional support.
Based in a rural area of West Berkshire rich in nature and countryside, we provide a caring, supportive environment where we provide educational support (Key Stage 1 to 2) where children are able to learn and thrive.
We have a simple and proactive way of creating quality over quantity, increasing the children’s overall schooling experiences and outcomes.
We work with pupils with a variety of identified needs including Emotionally Based School Avoidance, Anxiety, Autistic Spectrum Disorder (which may affect their speech and language development), Attention Deficit and Hyperactivity Disorders (ADHD), Cognitive delay, trauma and sensory overloads, which have resulted in system shutdowns and meltdowns.
We provide a welcoming, therapeutic, and emotionally empathetic context for children who have experienced difficulties in mainstream settings, either as a result of specific learning difficulties or more complex communication and interaction difficulties.
Where Every Journey Finds Its Place
“I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be” — Douglas Adams
Many of our pupils have found themselves on a different path from the one they first set out on. At Haywards Farm School, we have built an environment, vision and mission around that reality, creating a place where every child can feel safe, find a sense of belonging, and be inspired to move forward.
Our school is a place to flourish. With small class sizes and a strong sense of community, pupils build meaningful relationships with each other and with our dedicated team, who are every bit as much a part of our school family as the children themselves.
Beyond the classroom, our therapeutic farm and equine therapy centre offer rich opportunities for personal growth, wellbeing and enrichment, helping pupils connect with themselves and the world around them in ways that truly make a difference.
