The Well-being Home School Hub is an alternative educational provision that supports parents and children with homeschooling.
Each week, the Hub provides the children with an individual learning pack, and parents can access guidance on homeschooling resources from the Hub. The homework is returned each week and marked by our volunteer teacher.
The Well-being Home School Hub is a therapeutic model that incorporates support for social, emotional, health, well-being, and personal development for the group.
We start the learning day with either martial arts or a cooking session, focusing on a healthy start. This is followed by classroom work tailored to individual abilities rather than chronological age. We end the day with the group coming together for team sports.
The annual curriculum includes a garden project called “Seed to Feed,” where children learn horticultural skills. We encourage growing healthy produce. We follow this session with a family cook-and-eat activity, where parents join in to produce healthy dishes using home-grown ingredients.
When funding permits, we work with The United Art Project CIC, an organization that uses a creative expressive model to inform their artistic and expressive workshops and interventions. They are trained to use the arts to explore culture, heritage, identity, and belonging, and offer a space for children to process emotions, develop healthy coping mechanisms, build positive relationships and friendships, and increase self-esteem.
The ethos of The Well-being Home School Hub (WBHH) is to bring a team of resources together to provide a safe base for parents and children who are experiencing educational barriers in the mainstream setting. The team works inclusively and non-judgmentally to provide a bespoke child-centered curriculum that meets educational, social, and emotional needs, further supporting the development and maintenance of good physical and mental health.
The success of this learning model lies in small groups that are adapted to meet each child's needs. We currently have a maximum capacity of 10 children, which we hope to increase through additional sessions rather than increased capacity. A typical ratio in the classroom session will be two members of staff supporting five children.
