Educational Placements - Clinks Care Farm

Develop Social & Educational Skills

Young people who are struggling to engage in mainstream education can come to Clinks Care Farm on an Educational placement. We take students from year 10 onwards.

An educational placement does not lead to a formal qualification. However, students will be able to develop skills in animal care and horticulture and more importantly develop as socially confident individuals by working in small teams.

Students with mental health issues seem to benefit a lot from participating at Clinks Care Farm due to the therapeutic nature of the farm environment and the activities on the farm. You can be referred by school/college staff using the educational referral form below.
