Specialist Independent Non-School, Bradford.
At Sowing Seeds Alternative Learning, we are committed to meeting the needs of every learner through an inclusive, flexible, and individualised approach. We recognise that every young person joins us with their own unique starting point — shaped by their experiences, abilities, emotional needs, and aspirations.
Our mission is to nurture each learner’s potential by providing a safe, supportive, and inspiring environment where they can re-engage with learning, rebuild confidence, and achieve sustained personal and academic growth.
We are so proud to offer a range of calm and cosy spaces to help children and young people feel at ease and ready to learn at a pace they feel comfortable. We help children thrive academically and grow in confidence as they discover how capable they truly are.

The ProprietorPersonalised Learning Approach.
From the moment a learner is referred, we undertake a thorough initial assessment to understand their educational history, barriers to learning, and social-emotional profile. This process informs the creation of a Personalised Learning Programme (PLP) designed around the individual’s strengths, needs, and preferred learning styles.
Our staff team — including teachers, mentors, and therapeutic practitioners — collaborate to ensure that each learner receives the right balance of academic challenge, emotional support, and life skills development. Learning pathways are continuously reviewed, allowing each programme to evolve as the young person grows in confidence and capability.
Meeting the Needs of Every Learner.
At the heart of Sowing Seeds Alternative Learning is a belief that every child can thrive when provided with the right environment, relationships, and opportunities. Through our personalised approach, we cultivate a sense of belonging, purpose, and hope — empowering each learner to take confident steps toward their next stage of education, training, or employment.
