Immersive, curriculum-linked school trips at the Goodwood Estate, exploring organic farming, woodland skills and sustainability, with inclusive support and funded places for eligible schools.
Goodwood Education Trust offers immersive school trip experiences on the Goodwood Estate. Children visit the working organic farm to meet animals and learn about sustainable food production. Woodland-based activities include 'Forest adventure' with crafts, den-building and campfire skills. Visits align with the curriculum and aim to deepen understanding of nature, farming and the environment. Support and free trips are available for schools with high numbers of students eligible for free school meals or with additional needs.
Nestled in Seeley Copse, a 20 acre remnant of ancient woodland dedicated exclusively to education, the Goodwood Education Centre is the starting point for the majority of educational visits. This purpose-built facility has a bright classroom for up to 60 children and provides access to safe, practical hands-on learning and enrichment activities year-round. The building is wheelchair accessible, has disabled and unisex toilet facilities, and there is ample parking for coaches and minibuses in the dairy car park directly opposite.
All outdoor sites at Goodwood are busy working sites and we take the utmost care when hosting groups of children and young people. Experienced Education Guides are enhanced DBS checked, carry a first aid kit, know emergency procedures and are able to contact Goodwood Security Team or Emergency Services if required. Visiting teachers must ensure there is an adult amongst them who is trained in and responsible for first aid.
Teachers bringing groups to Home Farm are issued with guidelines from the Health and Safety Executive entitled ‘Avoiding ill health at open farms – advice to teachers’, which must be followed.
Educational visits are usually carried out in groups of 15 – 20. We calculate the number of Education Guides required to ensure both the safety and educational quality of your visit. Appropriate footwear and warm, waterproof clothing must be worn.
We offer free woodland activity days for local groups supporting children facing challenging circumstances such as Young Carers, children living with a life-limiting or terminal condition, those with terminally ill siblings. Do contact us to find out more.
