Taking Learning Outside – Alternative & Inspirational Education
At Stable Futures, we provide a non-clinical, nurturing, and reparative space where children and young people feel safe, heard, and understood. Our goal is to rebuild a sense of self, support emotional healing, and help each child develop the confidence and skills needed to move forward in life and learning.
​
Once trust is established, children begin to explore, engage, and thrive—
both emotionally and educationally.
Our Bespoke Packages:
We take the time it takes.
Stable Futures offers personalised programmes that combine Outdoor Learning, Therapeutic Equine & Small Animal Engagement, and an Alternative Curriculum, tailored for children and young people who are unable to access mainstream education for a variety of reasons.
