SEVA HOMES
Building Independence

Seva Homes is proud to provide a package of outstanding education.
​
Woodside School is Ofsted registered, accepting children between the ages of 8 - 18 with autism and learning disabilities.
​
Our education element is one of the few places in the UK that combines thereupetic one on one support with a holistic approach. This includes one day a week at a forest school and one day a week working on a farm with animals. The maximum number of young people and children accepted for this programme is currently 15.
​
Some children, maybe as a result of SEN, have difficulty interacting positively and appropriately with their peers and adults. Only a joined up (in education and in the home) holistic education can make a real impact. Holistic education is defined as ‘helping students be the most they can be’.

Therapeutic, Social & Emotional Development

Physical Activity
“ being active, moves the body and the mind”
​
It is widely accepted that good, regular physical activity is essential to positive behavior. This is promoted through a wide range of sports and team/confidence building skills and activities every day. Physical well-being is also based on eating well. All children’s diets are carefully created to ensure optimum wellness
Pure montessori, gentle teaching, project based learning
“life is about positive relationships - not chalk and talk”
​
Our educational methods are built around child led projects and a compassionate caring approach to promote self-learning and discovery. Often children with ld and autism really flourish and find their own voice under the self-led and self-disciplines encouraged by the pure Maria Montessori approach.

Care farm, forest school, being outdoors
“I don’t have ADHD when I’m in the woods” David, 14
​
Forest schools and doing outdoor activities are a total freedom from their emotional or sensorial turmoil. They allow children the freedom to help rebuild their confidence by doing activities around nature, away from the often, urban, challenges of their backgrounds.
Forest schools, working on a care farm and caring for animals are not a one off, they are central to our approach. Children spend nearly a whole day, every week outdoors and inspired. Often, working on a local, partner built ‘care’ farm. Enabling children to be as independent as possible and rebuild self-confidence.
