We are a small, alternative provision based in a village just North of Norwich. We work hard to make sure that the Dragonfly Programme is an inclusive, joyful and safe space where all young people are welcomed and accepted. We have a compassionate, relationship based approach in which we hope to increase young people's sense of belonging and community, develop their self esteem and confidence, and use the local environment to foster curiosity, bring a sense of enjoyment and improve social skills.
We tailor each child's experience around their interests with a special focus on exploring the natural environment, helping young people to make connections to their local history, to appreciate the world around us and the effects and benefits of physical activity and healthy nutrition on their well being. We offer a range of activities including hands on science, bushcraft, cooking, swimming, sports, keeping fit, cycling, arts and crafts, music. We take our young people on outings to explore local places including active and historical sites, fossil hunting, castles and churches, beaches, woodland walks, nature reserves, birdwatching and museums. We offer beauty taster sessions introducing practical treatments as well as basic motor mechanic maintenance. We believe that every young person, regardless of past traumas and difficulties, can find happiness and success in the right setting.
