At Changing Lives Independent School, we believe in a hands-on, engaging, and practical approach to education. Our carefully structured curriculum is designed to equip students with the skills, knowledge, and confidence they need to transition into adulthood successfully—whether that means further education, employment, or independent living.

A Practical, Skills-Based Approach

Our curriculum is built to inspire curiosity and encourage active learning. Students thrive in a setting where they can learn by doing, gaining real-world experience in:
✅ Animal care & equine studies – Hands-on learning with horses, dogs, and small animals to build responsibility, empathy, and vocational skills.
✅ Outdoor learning & life skills – Gardening, farm work, and environmental projects to develop independence and teamwork.
✅ Core academic subjects – A tailored approach to English, Maths, Science, and ICT, ensuring every student builds essential knowledge at their own pace.
✅ Personal development & well-being – Focused on social skills, resilience, and emotional intelligence to help students navigate life confidently.
✅ Vocational training & qualifications – Opportunities to earn nationally recognized qualifications in horse riding, dog training, and small animal care.
