💚🌍 I’m sorry as I know this could be triggering for some, and this photo shows me at a vulnerable time 4 1/2 years ago. When I came across this a few weeks ago, it shocked me and brought back old feelings, of a time when I didn’t recognise myself any more and my depression and mental health had reached a point when it was physically affecting me both internally and externally. Little did I know at the time that I would be able to find strength and connect with people who have the same values to create a safe space for evening tuition and as a day time alternative provision.

The theme for this year’s World Mental Health day is “Lived experiences heard: real voices, real change”.

This photo is ‘my why’ for leaving the career I loved and felt defeated. It was when I knew it was no longer sustainable and I couldn’t look after my mental health due to the unrealistic expectations and demands of teaching and leadership role and balance family life. It was ironic at the time as I was responsible for leading on children’s mental health in school and listened to students and helped to create more support; I also did everything I could to support school staff’s mental health. But, behind the scenes I had insomnia, was on sertraline, had my son during Covid and grieved the loss of my dad to pancreatic cancer during Covid. I know we keep going and believing we can get better with time, but when I was struggling to see because my eye lids itched and swelled so much from eczema I resorted to putting steroid cream on to get my through the day (not advisable), I had no choice but to listen to my body. I asked for help and went for counselling…but it was hypnotherapy that honestly changed my life. I felt heard, let my guard down and felt safe to open up without judgement.

When I founded Sowing Seeds, I always wanted to place children’s mental health first before academic success. I wanted to create a space for growth for children, families and my team (little did I realise how quickly it would grow.). I’ve seen education , societal pressures, toxicity of social media and the widening poverty gap deteriorate over the past 20 years - and there are incredible people and professionals doing everything they can in a broken system beyond education. It’s affected adult’s mental health and this has also had a ripple effect on children’s mental health - with no blame.

Today is about your story. Please help and share any services available. #WorldMentalHealthDay #support #mentalhealth #EducationForAll

💚It’s Feedback

⚙️Every Friday, our STEM Specialist tutor, Charlotte, has designed activities that develop a range of skills as continuation of our Construction course. This build took patience and skill to follow instruction/s and operate a range of mechanisms to fulfil the brief. 💪

Our hands-on STEM sessions for secondary and post16 learners encourage students to build, experiment, solve problems and develop their ideas. Previous projects have included bridge and tower challenges, asteroid-impact experiments, testing cars on ramps and loops, and building a working hydraulic robot arm (as shown here). We’re finishing this half term by exploring solar and wind power.

After half term, students will begin Mission Maglev! A six-week project exploring magnets, static electricity and electromagnets through practical challenges, finishing with a magnetic-levitation engineering project.

The sessions are adapted around the students taking part, with an emphasis on confidence, creativity and learning through doing.

Next half term’s 6 week programme 12.30-14.20 is bookable now - DM to book or message 07753326202!

Today, it was a privelege to present at Calderdale Council’s Alternative Provision Network event at The Shay! I shared insights and experiences as a non-school through an Ofsted inspection to support other non-schools and help them be prepared for visits. 💪 As always, it was great to spend time with Director, Leanne, from @bud_upwoodap another fellow Bradford non-school who we work closely with. Leanne and I are also on the National Executive Board for ALIGN (Alternative Learning Initiative Group Network CIC) and advocate for the regulation and sustainable model to ensure provisions like ours can be easily and legally accessible for children and young people. It was great to meet other non-school providers and share the support and information that is available to members too. The ALIGN website is in the comments too 🥰

Thank you to Dafydd Cherry, Alternative Provision Lead and Letesha Dyer, Alternative Provision Quality Assurance Officer for organising the network event and to share the evidence of the value and important role non-schools play - we felt heard and that means a lot. It reassured us, and schools, how alternative provision will continue to fit in with the proposed SEND reform model through collaboration with Trusts, schools and the LA.

We are approved provider for Calderdale council and will soon have a new premises IN Calderdale from January! We will share more details about this in the coming weeks! Rachel 💙🧡💚💜

We couldn’t wait until Feedback Friday and wanted to celebrate the lovely message we received first thing this morning from one of our parents! We have lots to share over the coming weeks too!!

👏 Well done to this student who has been with us for the past 2 years and has travelling all the way from Skipton because of the relationship he had with us and his tutors!

We are incredibly proud of his hard work! Every grade is a grade to be proud and for this student we know he lacked confidence and needed to believe in his potential more than anything. This student joined our small group sessions and also took advantage of our independent online learning platform to support his revision too.

Thank you for choosing us to be part of your journey and we wish you the best of luck at post-16! 💚

💙💜🧡💚 Did you know our students can learn using a range of coloured lined, squared paper, and overlays as well as have a specialist team who can screen and offer recommended adjustments for school!

At Sowing Seeds, we’re proud to be a dyslexia and visual‑stress‑friendly centre, offering a wide range of resources to support learners of all abilities. We know that not every child learns in the same way, so we focus on making learning fun, inclusive, and fully tailored to each individual and helping every child feel confident, supported, and excited to learn. 🌱

📚What is Dyslexia?

Dyslexia is a learning difference that affects how the brain processes language, making reading, writing, and spelling harder than expected. It’s not linked to intelligence — people with dyslexia simply learn in a different way, often showing strengths in creativity, problem‑solving, and big‑picture thinking.

📚Did you know visual stress can make reading physically uncomfortable for all ages?

For some learners, black text on bright white paper (like this post🙈) creates glare, moving words, headaches and difficulty concentrating. This isn’t a reading difficulty, it’s a visual processing issue that affects how the brain handles high‑contrast patterns.

One simple support that can make a big difference is using coloured paper or overlays. Changing the background colour reduces visual stress, helping text appear clearer and more stable. Learners often find they can read for longer, stay focused, and feel far more comfortable.

💙At Sowing Seeds, we use coloured paper and overlays as part of our inclusive practice: small adjustments that help learners feel confident, calm and ready to engage. Raising awareness matters. A tiny change in colour can unlock a huge change in comfort.

📚How many people are affected by both Dyslexia and Visual Stress?

Research shows that around 35–40% of individuals with dyslexia also struggle with visual stress, highlighting how important it is to recognise both conditions so the right support needs be put in place ready for our students’ first session onwards.

To book tuition or join one of our specialist dyslexia tuition groups, DM us or contact us via our website in the comments.😄
