The Vision
"To inspire disengaged individuals to reconnect with society through working with horses."
The Mission
To give young people, regardless of their background, the opportunity to develop their skills enabling them to return to education and/or employment.

To help every child become the best they can be within an environment suited to them — developing both practical and academic skills for life.
Our Core Values
The principles that guide our approach to education and student development
Compassion
Understanding each student's unique journey and meeting them where they are with empathy and care.
Inclusion
Creating a welcoming environment where every student feels valued, respected, and supported.
Excellence
Encouraging every student to strive for their personal best in academics and practical skills.
Equality
Ensuring equal opportunities regardless of race, faith, disability, ability, age, or background.
Nurturing
Providing a safe, supportive space where students can grow, learn, and develop confidence.
Safety
Maintaining a secure environment where students feel protected and can focus on learning.
A Place to Grow
We want our children and young people to be the best they can be within an environment that is suited to them.
We focus upon practical skills as well as academic standards, which are equally important to help develop their independent skills.
These skills will enable them to achieve and stand out as valued members of their communities.
It is important that students follow rules and staff instructions to ensure that all students remain safe and can succeed to the best of their ability.
We expect all parents, carers and students who attend Changing Lives to uphold these standards and to comply with our expectations.
Our Commitment to Equality
We are committed to take a positive stand to ensure all our communities have a right to equality of opportunity and achievement regardless of race and ethnicity, faith, belief, and religion, disability and access, ability, age, sex, sexual orientation or transsexualisation.
