Is It More Than Struggling With Homework?
Sometimes “I don’t want to do my homework” means something more.
A child who is struggling with learning might also be experiencing:
● Anxiety around schoolwork
● Fear of getting things wrong
● Sensory or emotional overwhelm
● Difficult communicating what they need
● A loss of confidence
Rather than asking “Why won’t they do it?”, sometimes it helps to ask: “What is making this difficult for them?” Understanding the why can change everything!
Have you noticed any of these with your child?

☀️☁️ I’m on holiday in beautiful Wales and wanted to say a quick hello! As always, I time my videos when I have zero make up on and have wind-swept hair 🙈🤣. This week is about having some quality family time and also time for myself mentally as it’s been a busy half term and with the purchase of the Footsteps building, it’s also been stressful at times with all the paperwork! Our team is on a rota and working over the holidays to prepare for next half term - please do get in touch.
We have welcomed lots of new members to the team and will be introducing them to our current and new families along with their roles and how they will support you too. We are also investing in more training for our team as well as providing wellbeing support to make sure we look after ourselves too. We are always reflective and looking at what else we can do to enhance support for our learners, families and ourselves. Our Oxygen marks go on first 🦺.
I’ll add details on where find out about new tuition sessions too!#bradford #tuition #ofstedregistered #tutor #alternativeprovision

Let’s bust a few education myths
❌”All children learn in the same way”
✅No two children are exactly alike
❌”Avoiding work means a child is lazy”
✅There can be many reasons behind reluctance, barriers and trauma associated with learning
❌”Academic progress is the only progress that matters”
✅Confidence, communication,
independence and emotional wellbeing matter too
💚Every child deserves to be understood as an individual
Which education myth would YOU like us to challenge next?
DM us to book tuition using a trauma-informed and relational approach to build confidence in learning and enjoyment of subject areas.

💚🌍 I’m sorry as I know this could be triggering for some, and this photo 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.
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. #worl

⚙️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 encourage our 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!

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 💙🧡💚💜

💙💜🧡💚 Did you know our learners can use coloured lined or squared paper and overlays to make reading and writing more comfortable?
At Sowing Seeds, we’re proud to be a dyslexia and visual-stress-friendly centre. Our specialist team can screen learners and recommend reasonable adjustments for school.
Dyslexia affects how language is processed, while visual stress can cause glare, moving words, headaches and difficulty concentrating. Simple changes, such as using coloured paper or overlays, can help text appear clearer and more stable.
Around 35–40% of people with dyslexia may also experience visual stress, so recognising both is important.
Small adjustments can make a huge difference—helping learners feel calm, confident and ready to learn. 🌱
To book tuition or join one of our specialist dyslexia groups, send us a DM or visit our website.

🌱 4 years of Sowing Seeds! 🌱
Four years ago, I took one of the biggest risks of my life. After 20+ years in education, I resigned as an Assistant Principal and left mainstream teaching following my own experiences of anxiety, depression and burnout.
In September 2022, Sowing Seeds began with just me — an English tutor, 10 jobs and lots of long days driving and tutoring!
I knew something needed to change. I believed children couldn’t thrive academically unless they first felt safe, understood, valued and enjoyed learning. 🌱
Four years later, I still can’t believe how far we’ve come:
🌱 27 employees & 40 tutors
🌱 500+ children and young people supported
🌱 Alternative Learning provision
🌱 Specialist Sensory Hub & Wellbeing CIC
🌱 Ofsted-registered wraparound & holiday provision
🌱 NCFE, ASDAN & exam centre provision
🌱 Tuition, EOTAS, mentoring, counselling, work experience & wellbeing support
🌱 Specialist support for neurodivergent learners and families across Yorkshire and beyond
This summer, we even sold our house to buy the Footsteps premises and secure Sowing Seeds’ future. From renting one room at my daughter’s dance school to now living above our own provision — what a journey! ❤️
But the achievements that mean the most aren’t awards or numbers.
They’re the young person who finds their confidence again. The parent who finally gets a moment to breathe. The families who tell us, “You understand.”
I’m incredibly proud of what we’ve created and grateful to every learner, family, team member, school and professional who has been part of it.
Here’s to the next chapter and all the seeds we are yet to sow! 🌱

🌙 To all our GCSE students (and our parents) on the night before Results Day…
We know tonight might feel like a long one. And tomorrow morning will feel very daunting as it approaches.
There may be nerves, excitement, worry, pride and lots of “what ifs?” For parents and carers, it can be just as emotional. You’ve watched your child work hard, overcome challenges, doubt themselves, keep going and, for many of our young people, face barriers that others may never fully understand.
So tonight, we want you to remember something really important:
Tomorrow’s results are just one moment in time. They do not define your child, their ability, their potential or their future. We also know that some children won’t have this experience tomorrow and that it will happen if or when they are ready (and we are here to help if needed)💚
A grade cannot measure resilience.
It cannot measure kindness.
It cannot show how much courage it took to walk into an exam room or even being able to open that envelope to read those results.
It cannot capture the progress made simply by re-engaging with education, believing in yourself again or refusing to give up.
Whatever is written on that piece of paper tomorrow, there will always be a next step and another pathway. Open it on your own, when you get home, with you family or with your friends. It’s your moment to choose and every person shows their nerves in their own way
To our students: we are already incredibly proud of how far you have come. Tomorrow is about recognising what you have achieved, not measuring your worth by a number.
And to our parents and carers: whatever tomorrow brings, celebrate how far they have come and know we are here if you need to chat . ❤️
From all of us at Sowing Seeds, we wish every young person receiving their GCSE results and resit results tomorrow the very best of luck. 🍀🌱
You are so much more than your results. This is one moment in your story, not the whole story.

🎓 A-Level Results Day 🌱
To all our A-Level students receiving their results today — well done! 💚
Remember, one set of results doesn’t define your future. There are many different pathways to success, and the right one is the one that works for you.
At Sowing Seeds Tuition, we’re here to help young people explore their options and find the right next step. 🌱
