Kingswood CentreThe centre is run and managed by Rob Morris and is a unique environment that encourages outdoor learning and self development for students that would normally struggle in a traditional classroom setting.
All our students thrive in the farm environment and have opportunity to learn a variety of skills and be responsible for tasks including animal care, site maintenance, growing vegetables, as well as bushcraft and living off the land.

Failand Forest SchoolRob Morris is the Forest School Leader and is a guide for young people to get them immersed in new experiences that you share with them not a dictating style of teaching. Its about getting students involved for example starting an activity that will make them really look at the world around them touching it getting dirty feeling and listening and looking at nature.
Forest SchoolMIAG have had over 30 students that’s come to MIAG for different reasons, and we have worked with Schools and Local authorities to put them in to mainstream or specialist provision in the last 3 years.
There have been many reasons for disengagement from Education and MIAG Staff have been very creative in how to engage with the students and to work with them to engage them back slowly into Education with a different outlook from the school environment.
Over the last 2 years we have had 8 Students moved onto Apprenticeships and work experience and MIAG will now be looking to expand this offer to year 11 students who do not want to do alternative route of College.
