Our story
Elysian began in 2015 at Westland Farm, Shamley Green, initially as a livery yard while the site's facilities were developed. The livery operation wound down from August 2018, and in September 2020 the provision became a registered therapeutic secondary education provision for children and young people with SEN.
Elysian has since grown to three sites across Surrey and Hampshire, Shamley Green, West Horsley and Liss with a satellite provision at Froxfield, each a registered therapeutic education provision built around the same animal-assisted approach.
Elysian's mission is to support people across a vast variety of needs, facilitating animal-assisted therapeutic intervention, education, therapy and learning experiences. Its motto, Enjoy, Believe, Achieve, and its values, compassion, growth, inclusion, respect, community and excellence, run through the work at every site.
