An innovative alternative for home educated children, three days per week in Norfolk
"There are no words to describe how real it is, how authentic, how natural [...] The children were so welcoming and inclusive. So warm and loving. They are just such incredible individuals. It was so visible to see how safe and comfortable each child felt in their surroundings, the perfect environment to learn and grow in ❤️"
"The biggest positive for us about Bamble is that E loves it! The starting point for this was definitely Sally and Danny who he resonated with from the moment he met them [...] I am so happy that we found a place for him to explore and develop his independence and autonomy that has just felt so right."
"I had the privilege of visiting Bamble Learning Community in Norwich this week. It’s a new democratic primary learning community that facilitates self-directed learning. What this means in action is that children have the self-determination and autonomy to learn from their own interests and at their own pace with the support of teachers following their lead. Can you even imagine. So wonderful! Sally and Danny were kind and calm practitioners and it was great to see the joyful, empowered experience the children were having. If my children were younger they’d be straight in there!"
"I just would like to take this opportunity to say thank you to you and Sally for the kindness and support you have shown. It truly means the world. Bamble is a very special amazing environment. Thank you for allowing X to experience it. It is just beautiful to be in an environment that fits the beliefs and ethos I try to implement into X's education. I am so very proud of how well X has settled at Bamble making friendship and connections with you both and the children. It is very heartwarming."
“Thank you for all the love, creativity and fun you have poured into the project and shared with all our children!”
"My daughter said "I wish I could live here for the rest of my life"
“Your passion, enthusiasm and authenticity cannot be underestimated, keeping morale going and making others believe that anything is possible”
Nobody can teach you to be you
Bamble is a place where you can learn about yourself, who you want to be, what you care about, what you want to know, where you want to go...
You will have a say in the decisions that affect you. You can say what you think, and if you agree or disagree with an idea. When we talk with each other about what’s going to happen then we all learn how to communicate what we need and how to get along.
