Wise Oak Learning Community

1st Ashton Scout Hut
About
This event is to join a waiting list for a learning community opening up in Ashton-in-Makerfield, Wigan. Founded by Karen Williams, teacher and Forest School leader looking to enrich children's lives at their pace. It is a community for those who have chosen to deregister and home educate and are looking for a space of community for learning to come together through experiences and projects. It's a privately run community so there will be a cost to cover staffing and overheads. But we will have dedicated, talented facilitators in music, arts, languages and more with an outside area to access Forest School type experiences. We want children to feel comfortable in themselves and know that the learning journey they choose is their own.
