Starting point

We want to shape this with families first

Celtic Roots is developing home education courses for September. Before we finalise the programme, we want to bring families together for a July roundtable discussion on the farm.

The aim is to understand ages, learning needs, timings, group size, practical interests, and what would make the programme genuinely useful for home-educating families.

1

Food and growing

Seed sowing, harvesting, seasonal crops, simple cooking, and where food comes from.

2

Soil and nature

Soil life, composting, wildlife habitats, observation, weather, and farm ecology.

3

Practical confidence

Hands-on projects, teamwork, tool safety, problem solving, and outdoor independence.

4

Flexible learning

A calm structure that can work for mixed ages, different confidence levels, and real family needs.

July roundtable

Join the discussion before the courses launch

This is a chance for families to ask questions, share what they need, and help shape the September programme. Booking a place helps us plan numbers, seating, and refreshments.

How structured the sessions should be, and how flexible they need to feel.
