Home education courses starting this September
Practical, seasonal learning on the farm for home-educated children and families: food growing, soil, nature, simple cooking, land skills, and confidence outdoors.
Working with Food Vale and Vale of Glamorgan Council in 2026
This gives families confidence that the programme is being shaped with local food, nature, and community education partners, not built in isolation.
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.
Food and growing
Seed sowing, harvesting, seasonal crops, simple cooking, and where food comes from.
Soil and nature
Soil life, composting, wildlife habitats, observation, weather, and farm ecology.
Practical confidence
Hands-on projects, teamwork, tool safety, problem solving, and outdoor independence.
Flexible learning
A calm structure that can work for mixed ages, different confidence levels, and real family needs.
Help shape the September home education courses
This is the session for families who are interested in farm-based home education. Come and tell us what your child needs, what would work for your week, and what questions you want answered before September.
Home Education Roundtable Discussion
Join us for a free roundtable discussion to help shape our September home education courses at Celtic Roots. We’ll talk through days, times, age groups, course themes, practical needs, siblings, weather, toilets, support needs and what families would like children to learn on the farm.
Clear questions, useful answers
The roundtable is there to make sure the September offer works for real families, not just on paper.
