The Orchard Overview

Orchard Therapeutic wasn’t built overnight. It grew - organically, responsively, and with a clear purpose: to create a safe, inspiring place where young people with additional needs could thrive through real-life, hands-on learning and experiences.

What began as a small, primary-focused provision has now blossomed into a vibrant therapeutic farm offering tailored education to children and young people at primary, secondary, and post-16 levels. As the needs of local families grew, so did we... expanding our facilities, our expertise, and our age range. 

We now support students and families from across Oxfordshire, West Berkshire, Wiltshire, Slough, Wokingham, Surrey,  Swindon, Buckinghamshire, and beyond - all within our carefully designed, specialist setting.

Many of the young people who come to us have additional needs, including neurodivergent profiles, Attention Deficit and Hyperactivity Disorders (ADHD), Anxiety, or Emotionally Based School Avoidance (EBSA). They may have found mainstream education overwhelming — and that’s where we come in.

Most of our students have an Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP), and every learning journey is carefully tailored to the individual. We work closely with families and professionals to create something that’s personalised, purposeful and practical - always built on trust, and always with the child at the centre.
