Where Potential Meets Possibility
At Different Steps CIC, we don't just see what young people can't do – we discover what they absolutely can. Our revolutionary
Post-16 education combines accredited qualifications with the transformative power of farm-based learning.
Every student doesn't just find their potential here – they unleash it.

What do we do?
This Isn't Your Average Classroom
Forget everything you think you know about education for young people with EHCPs. At Different Steps CIC, learning happens in fields, with animals, under open skies – and the results are nothing short of extraordinary.
What makes us different:
City & Guilds qualifications that employers actually want
Real farm, real animals, real skills – no pretend here
Small classes, massive impact – maximum 6 students per group
Individual brilliance plans – because every student is unique
Pathways that actually lead somewhere – employment, independence, success
Located at the stunning Manor Farm in North Marston, Buckinghamshire, we're a Community Interest Company on a mission: to prove that when you change how young people learn, you change what they can achieve.
The Different Steps Difference:
Authentic experiences that build genuine confidence
SEND-specialist teaching staff who truly get it
Learning that sticks because it matters
Future-focused outcomes aligned to each student's dreams
Innovation in every lesson – because different thinking gets different results
