Welcome to Abavia

In Partnership with Luccombe Hub

Abavia and The Luccombe Hub are working in partnership to expand opportunities and strengthen support for young people.

Through shared expertise, resources, and best practice, we’re creating a flexible, personalised learning environment where every learner can thrive. Our joint commitment to safety, inclusion, and wellbeing is guided by a clear framework of policies and procedures that ensure fairness, consistency, and high standards across all areas of our work, enhancing the overall experience and outcomes for every student.

Abavia, is a unique and forward-thinking Independent Life Skills and Employability education provider. We cater for 16 to 25-year-olds seeking practical, hands-on vocational training. Nestled in the scenic setting of rural Dorset, we operate a friendly learning environment known as Vocation Village at Manor Farm, Dewlish.

​At Abavia, we provide a safe, supportive, and hands-on learning environment for young people who need something different from mainstream education. Our alternative provision combines practical farm work, emotional support, and personalised learning to help every student grow in confidence, skills, and wellbeing.

Our innovative courses are designed to offer a diverse range of real-life vocational skills, crucial for the contemporary job market.
