the island project farming and education centre
Alternative Education Derby & Nottingham The Island Project provides bespoke
pastoral support and alternative education for junior school children, secondary
school children, and NEET (Not in Education, Employment or Training). Most
learners are at serious risk of underachievement and for most, conventional
mainstream education has failed to engage them. Many students who cannot cope
with a classroom environment find that they thrive in more therapeutic
surroundings, participating in animal-assisted projects and outside of the
classroom-based sessions.
