From curious alpacas to gentle ponies and playful goats, every animal at Animal Antiks has an important role in helping people learn, relax and connect with nature.
Our Vision
Education That Works
Not every young person learns best inside a classroom.
Our outdoor education programmes give students the opportunity to build confidence, develop practical skills and engage with learning in a completely different way.

Frequently Asked Questions
For more FAQs please visit our dedicated page, or send us an
enquiry here.
How do we get my child an education placement at Animal Antiks?
The first step is to inform the team at your Annual Review that your preference for your child is for an education placement at Animal Antiks. Ask the local authority to send us a consultation.
Is there a minimum level of learning you need a child to have to get a placement?
There isn’t a minimum level of learning, but all learners will need to have an EHCP. We know who is likely to get the most out of our experience and will advise you if we are a suitable location.
For supported Internships, the government has specific criteria, which your EHCP Officer can discuss with you.
What happens if our request is declined by the local authority?
Your EHCP Officer will help you if your request is declined.
How many days do learners come to the farm each week?
The Government specifies learning for Post-16 education is 3 days per week.
What time do they start and finish?
Our day starts at 10.00am and finishes at 3pm. They take their lunch between 12-1pm.
How do learners get to the farm? Do you provide transport?
We do not currently provide any transport for learners (this is an area we are reviewing). You will need to ask your local authority about transport.
What does my child need to wear?
Practical, comfortable clothing suitable for outdoor and farm work, this includes closed-toe, sturdy footwear which must be worn at all times. No sandals, flip-flops, or open-toed shoes. Wellington boots are useful during wet weather or snow.
They will need to dress for the weather, so need to bring waterproofs in wet weather and layers in cold weather or bring sun cream and a sun hat in sunny weather.
Sometimes my child struggles with their emotions. I usually give them time out. Will they be able to take time out if they need to?
Yes, most definitely. We have specific areas designed for this purpose.
How do you make sure that the learners don’t leave the farm? And what happens if they do?
Security is paramount and our main gate is observed by Reception. However, we are a farm and should a young person choose to leave, a member of our staff will follow them to ascertain why they need to walk off-site and if necessary alert you, or if they are in danger, the police.
What size are the groups you work with?
Our group sizes are kept small, so around 4-6 learners per group. However, if there is a need to change this to support a particular learner more, we will adjust the groups as required.
We try to encourage all of our young people to work with others and develop team work and leadership skills.
