A New Way to Learn. A New Way to Grow.

The world is changing fast and young people need more than knowledge alone.

At Wayfinders, we are on a mission to reimagine education for a future where skills, curiosity, and wellbeing are at the heart of learning.

We offer a progressive, skills-based approach that prepares students for life, not just exams. Our learners develop collaboration, creativity, critical thinking, self-awareness, innovation and goal-setting, essential skills to navigate an unpredictable world with confidence.

Why Wayfinders Education CIC?

• Small, focused learning: We are creating an onsite provision on the Isle of Wight with only 6-12 students per year group, creating a community where every learner is known and supported.

• Forest School ethos: Learning outdoors, connecting with nature, and building skills in a mindful, reflective environment.

• Freedom to explore: Skills-based learning gives students the autonomy to dive deeply into subjects they are passionate about — whether it’s palaeontology, music, architecture, or environmental design.

• Practical literacy and numeracy: Core skills are embedded in meaningful, real-world projects, from song writing to community initiatives to measuring angles in building projects.

• Intergenerational learning: Older adults and the wider community join in, creating rich experiences that build connection, perspective, and empathy.

• Flexible opportunities: For those who cannot join us onsite, our online provision offers small, skills-based courses and learning packages that extend our approach beyond the classroom.
