The Learning Canopy

For children who need something different from learning.

The Learning Canopy provides calm, personalised support for children who are struggling to engage, build confidence or make progress in traditional environments.

At The Learning Canopy, we offer specialised ALN support and intervention for children, alongside consultancy support for schools and parents. Our focus is on inclusive, tailored learning that meets the unique needs of every child.

Intervention sessions take place on a weekly basis, either through very small group provision or 1:1 support, allowing each child to be supported in a way that feels both comfortable and effective. All sessions are led by specialist educators who understand the importance of adapting learning to suit the individual, rather than expecting the child to fit a set approach.

Our membership model has been carefully designed to provide consistent, high-quality support for both children and their families. This includes one personalised intervention session per week, alongside all planning and bespoke programme design. Families also receive regular written reports, ongoing IDP support, and guidance with referrals and school appeals where needed.

Additional one-hour intervention sessions are available at a rate of £50 per session. Provision is flexible and built around the needs of each child. Some learners attend once a week, while others attend multiple sessions, with some children accessing more intensive support of 10+ hours per week.

We also work closely with home-ed families and learners on reduced timetables who are unable to access full-time education. Our provision offers a consistent, supportive alternative that helps maintain engagement, routine and progress. In addition, we have a dedicated pathway designed specifically for children experiencing EBSA (Emotionally Based School Avoidance), providing a gentle, responsive approach that prioritises emotional wellbeing alongside learning.

We take pride in offering a joined-up approach, working closely with families, schools and other professionals to ensure that every child is fully supported. At The Learning Canopy, we recognise that progress is not just academic. Progress to us is about building confidence, developing resilience, and helping each child feel capable, understood and successful in their own way.
