Wild Embers
Igniting Curiosity and
Cultivating Change
We help children and young people in South Devon grow in confidence, resilience, and belonging through the power of the outdoors.
Welcome to Wild Embers - we offer a proven, trauma-informed alternative outdoor provision in South Devon, where learning is reimagined and every learner’s potential is championed.
​
We understand that mainstream education doesn’t always meet the needs of every child or young person, especially those who are neurodiverse, those experiencing EBSA (Emotional Based School Avoidance), or those with SEMH (Social, Emotional & Mental Health) challenges. That’s why we offer an inclusive, bespoke approach that places emotional wellbeing, creativity, and individuality at the heart of everything we do.
​
Our outdoor setting is a calm, and safe space that acts as a catalyst for:
​
-
igniting curiosity
-
building resilience and self-regulation
-
supporting social and emotional growth
-
creating a culture of inclusion for all learners
At Wild Embers, we help learners discover their strengths, embrace their identity, and prepare for futures where they can truly thrive.
​
Join us for a learning experience that’s not just different, but more empowering, more compassionate, and more inclusive.
Our programmes are designed to meet children where they are and help them take the next step forward. Find out more.

Our Approach
Our compassionate, respectful and highly skilled team recognises that a child is as unique as a wild ember. Our sessions are tailored to the needs of the learner, providing specialist support with individual S.M.A.R.T goal setting and child centred nature based support.
Using creative tools, we successfully engage with children and young people to offer inspired learning.
At Wild Embers, we believe that supporting the whole family is essential to a child's success. That's why we're also proud to support parents and carers too.
We offer a range of resources to help navigate the best outcomes for children, ensuring their unique needs are met. Our expert support comes from experienced team who understand the challenges and opportunities in alternative provision.
Additionally, we provide opportunities for peer support and shared learning, creating a community where parents and carers can connect, learn, and grow together.
"The Wild Embers Team provided a well thought out, highly personalised experience for the children involved. Despite the fact there were very diverse individual needs within the group, the team ensured that every child's needs were catered for. As well as being a very enriching experience in which all the children were engaged, the impact was seen by teachers within the classroom. All three teachers who had children within the group reported an increase in confidence, engagement, independence and resilience following the course"
