The Village
Educating your child shouldn't be a minefield.
That's why we have created The Village - a dedicated section of our business that aims helps parents with a view to be informative and supportive, by sharing different views and strategies.
Our vision for The Village is to be the 'go to' space for all things home education in the West Sussex area. Creating a community
for you and your daughter.
We signpost for different educational, emotional and wellbeing needs, arrange group meet ups as well as offering tips and advice for day to day questions you may have when home educating.
Our aim at The Willow Tree is to improve girls emotional, physical and social wellbeing through yoga, meditation, grounding, group discussion and craft, but not only that, to be a support for you, the parents and guardians.
We are committed to being the leading provider of wellbeing connection and support for females in West Sussex.

The Village meet ups
At The Willow Tree Forest School, our mission is to empower individuals to take control of their child's educational journey.
We offer a monthly coffee morning where we can connect, share and support one another on our home education journeys. So weather you are feeling stressed over finding the right tutor or panicking about next steps, we are here to talk. We don't have all the answers, but together we are stronger.
If you would like to be a part of our monthly coffee mornings, please register your interest and we will send you more information, times and location.
Amber - The Village Coordinator
My name is Amber, I am mum to my 3 precious children, one of them being SEN. It is my daughter's SEN journey that has afforded me the knowledge and skillset I have accumulated over the years. It has taken my family on a very long, emotional battle with the system to get the answers and correct support for my daughter to enable her to strive to the very best of her ability, to set her up for success each and every day, to thrive in every aspect of her life through equal opportunity and give her the support she needs, which is every child's right.
I don't have any qualifications in this field and I don't have all the answers (If I did the world for our children would be a better place!), I am just a mum who has been battling along on this journey with my family, just like you. I am fighting for not only my child, but for yours too, and for all the children that are yet to have the answers they need.
So my strong moral compass leads me to having made it my mission to support those receiving rejection after rejection, setback after setback just like our own journey to make sure no child is left behind. I have spent years self educating myself on different ways to achieve and advocate for our children and to support my daughters needs and wellbeing both in and out of her School setting which is of paramount importance to me as first priority. I will keep pushing for the support she needs.
We are their biggest supporters and we need to do this for them.
My advice; Never give up.
, parental group meet ups, confidential advice and a support network for you and your daughter.
The Willow Tree is something quite magical. Their sessions cover all aspects of emotional and mental health for our girls, something that is frequently overlooked and severely lacking from the mainstream curriculum.
navigating the correct support for your child should be easy, but the truth is its, not. Helping signpost families is something that touches my heart. I am passionate about improving children's wellbeing.
If this resonates with you, and you are in need of someone to shed light, offer support & raw honesty, then please get in touch. The Village offers a safe and confidential space where we can share ideas and support one another.
I am on your side. You are not alone. Together we stand strong.
