Why

Coming to Curly's Farm provides a range of  meaningful opportunities for young people in a supportive, social environment. We focus on our children to be part of a team in a variety of projects but also encouraging independence and problem solving while here. Through farming, students build their knowledge, confidence, social skills, resilience and teamwork along with many other transferable skills. Curly's Farm provides opportunities to complete the AQA to gain nationwide recognised accreditations.

Who

We encourage all young people to join the Farm-ily and we adapt the farm to our students' needs to ensure they succeed. As an AQA provider and an experienced care farming provider, we support students on their journey.

What

Curly's Farm is a registered centre to participate in the AQA accreditation Unit Award Scheme. We are able to assist all our students and service users to learn on the farm and achieve a certificate, recognised formally by the AQA. The AQA Unit Award Scheme is invaluable as it is an important pathway for our service users to receive accreditation for their achievements. A vast range of units, which are level differentiated, allows accreditation to be accessible to all individuals, regardless of their ability. AQA have trained our staff to allow amendments and the ability to write our own units. To join the scheme, there is a one off 'student charge' in addition to the daily service user rate. There after, the service user can work towards as many skills as they wish, at their own pace. Once the user has shown knowledge and experience, our AQA co-ordinators can submit learning for young farmers to receive their certificates.
