Gloverspiece School

Gloverspiece School is an independent special school located in Droitwich, Worcestershire, catering to a mixed-gender cohort of 25 pupils aged 4 to 16. Established in 2017 as part of Gloverspiece Mini Farm, the school operates within an 11-acre care farm environment that promotes therapeutic learning through farming practices. The school is designed to support students with special educational needs, providing a structured programme that integrates animal therapy and hands-on agricultural activities.

The curriculum at Gloverspiece School is centred around the principles of care farming, which emphasises the benefits of engaging with nature and animals for personal development and well-being. Students learn about sustainable farming practices while interacting with a variety of rescued animals, including sheep, pigs, goats, and ducks. This unique approach not only enhances educational outcomes but also fosters a sense of responsibility and connection to the community.

Gloverspiece School is part of a broader initiative that includes a care farm and alternative provision, all aimed at supporting the local community. The school's ethos is rooted in rehabilitation and care, ensuring that both students and animals thrive in a nurturing environment.
