About Frampton Farm
Land Based Education Centre
Frampton is a 26-acre vocational non school educational, care farming centre and working farm situated in Church Hougham, between Folkestone and Dover in Kent. The farm provides private education and training, offering City & Guilds qualifications in animal care, land management, and essential life skills for the workplace. It’s home to a wide variety of animals, including sheep, goats, cows, pigs, chickens, ducks, alpacas, rabbits, guinea pigs, and tortoises.
Offering small class sizes
Our small class sizes, with up to 10 students, ensure plenty of individual support and hands-on learning for every participant.
Supporting students with sen & Semh needs
We have a supportive and experienced team who provide tailored adaptations and guidance for students with SEN and SEMH needs, ensuring that every learner feels included and able to succeed.
learn on a real farm
Frampton provides students aged 11 and above with the opportunity to gain practical, hands-on experience in land-based studies and animal husbandry, while also supporting them in developing their theoretical knowledge.
Frampton Farm is a unique and welcoming non school alternative education provider offering hands-on, practical learning for students of all ages. We specialise in delivering City & Guilds qualifications in areas such as Animal Care, Horticulture, Construction, and Land-Based Skills, providing a flexible and supportive environment for learners who thrive outside a traditional classroom setting.
Our mission is to inspire a love of learning through practical experiences, giving students the chance to develop vocational skills, personal confidence, and employability while engaging directly with animals, plants, and the farm environment.
At Frampton Farm, we recognise that every learner is different. We provide individual learning plans, tailored support, and flexible teaching methods to ensure each student can progress at their own pace. Our small class sizes and highly experienced staff allow us to offer personalised attention, guidance, and encouragement, helping learners succeed academically and personally.
Whether students are looking to gain a qualification, develop practical skills, or build confidence and independence, Frampton Farm offers a nurturing and inclusive setting where learning is hands-on, meaningful, and enjoyable.
Frampton Farm is not a school and does not provide full-time education. Students who are enrolled in a school must obtain approval from their school and/or local authority before applying for sessions. Please note that local authority funding is not available for students with an EHCP.
