A Welcome from Our Founder

Welcome to Rooted Learning.

Thank you for taking the time to learn more about our vision. Rooted Learning was founded with one simple belief: every child deserves to feel valued, understood and inspired to succeed, regardless of the challenges they may face.

Throughout my career as a teacher, leader and Forest School practitioner, I have had the privilege of working with children from a wide range of backgrounds and abilities. I have seen first-hand the incredible difference that nurturing relationships, personalised support and meaningful learning experiences can make to a child's confidence, wellbeing and future. These experiences inspired me to create Rooted Learning.

Our mission is to provide inclusive, high-quality education that enables children to flourish academically, socially and emotionally. Through our first provision, Oak & Ash Learning Centre, we aim to offer a calm, supportive environment where children feel safe to be themselves, rediscover a love of learning and develop the skills and confidence to thrive.

We believe education should be as individual as the children we teach. By combining evidence-informed teaching, therapeutic approaches and the transformative power of outdoor learning and Forest School, we create opportunities for every child to experience success and reach their full potential.

Whether you are a parent seeking the right support for your child, a school looking for a trusted partner, or a professional who shares our passion for inclusive education, I hope you find inspiration in our vision and the work we are building together.

Thank you for visiting Rooted Learning. We look forward to welcoming you into our community and working together to help every child grow with confidence, resilience and hope for the future.
