New co-learning spaces in Devon created for home-educated children aged 8 - 14
We are You Can Sit With Us – friendly spaces where home-educated children aged 8 - 14 can come together, work independently, and feel part of something special.
It’s not a school, it’s not childcare – it’s something new.
We provide supervised, 3 hour sessions where children bring their individual learning materials and enjoy working alongside others in a calm, welcoming environment. Think of it like a co-working space – but for young people.

Our sessions are held in carefully chosen community centres, church halls, and village halls around Torbay and Exeter. We’ve put a lot of thought into selecting spaces that are welcoming, clean, and practical - and we always consider the little things that might make children feel anxious, such as: Where the toilets are, where they can get a drink, where do you go when you arrive and where will they meet their parent or carer afterwards.
You Can Sit With Us has been created for home-educated children aged 8 - 14 who are ready to explore independent learning in a calm and welcoming space. That doesn’t mean sitting perfectly still - we understand that some children need to stretch, fidget, or wriggle before they settle in. What matters most is that your child is able to follow gentle supervision, work independently on something they’ve brought with them, and be respectful of others in the space.
We’re not a school or a tutoring group, and we don’t offer 1:1 support. For this reason, we may not be the right fit for children who require ongoing adult guidance or support with regulating their behaviour.
We also cannot currently support children who have an EHCP unless they are already receiving education elsewhere. This is because we are not a registered or specialist provider, and we must comply with national guidance for unregistered educational settings.

If you're unsure whether this is the right fit, we're always happy to talk it through with you!
