COMMUNITY COVEBY THE STILL HANDWhy should children have to sacrifice their individuality to experience education, friendship and belonging?
Our children are homeschooled. We value their freedom to ask questions, express themselves and discover their own interests. We also want them to experience friendship, teamwork, healthy boundaries and the joy of being part of something.
Community Cove grew from a family’s wish to bring these things together. A place for educational support and practical experiences, while parents remain responsible for their children’s education.
Families need people, too. We imagine parents exchanging ideas, children finding common interests, and friendships growing through shared experiences rather than a need to fit a single mould.
“We are not here to shape children into who we think they should become. We are here to provide a safe environment in which they can discover who they are.”
Kindness, respect, inclusion and responsibility belong alongside personal expression. Safeguarding must shape our decisions, from adult membership and image permissions online to supervision and screening in person.
A welcoming coastal space with room to study, make, grow, explore and gather. The premises, operating model and programmes are still being investigated. We will share progress honestly, including what has not yet been achieved.
