About the Green House ​

The Green House is a self-directed learning community based in Batheaston. Founded in 2015 as a Community Interest Company, we previously operated in Bitton before relocating due to flooding. As well as regular sessions for our main community, we are growing collaborations with other local community projects and hoping to offer additional sessions that will be accessible to a wider group of young people.

Location

We’re thrilled to have found a welcoming home at Batheaston Youth Club. This lovely setting offers everything we need to continue growing our vibrant learning community. Inside, you’ll find cosy seating areas, plenty of room for activities, a fully equipped kitchen, toilets, and even a sports hall—perfect for energetic play and indoor sessions. We’re also delighted to have access to the beautiful Village Hall Meadow, a safe, enclosed green space next to the youth club. It’s ideal for exploring, outdoor learning, and free-range play, giving children space to connect with nature and enjoy open-ended fun.

People

Relationships and people are at the core of our community. Our holding team are responsible for logistical running of the community, as well as maintaining and developing our vision and direction. Our three fabulous facilitators passionately support the young people on their learning journeys on the ground three days per week. Our holding team and facilitators co-create a safe and nurturing space, prioritising care and emotional support. This enables healthy relationships and honest communication throughout the community.

We are part of a growing network of educational change-makers.
