The Goodwood Education Trust has been providing outdoor learning opportunities at Goodwood for almost 50 years.
The Education Trust is a recognised Provider by the Forest School Association. We are able to offer year-round, part-funded, weekly sessions of Forest School to sit within your curriculum. These are suitable for both primary and secondary children with Special Educational Needs, Social, Emotional and Mental Health needs, those who are excluded from mainstream schooling or those who are at risk of exclusion.
The groups are necessarily small, with high staffing ratios, and offer exclusive use of an outdoor learning space to create a sense of safety, security and familiarity. The benefits of Forest School practice for secondary students are powerful, offering autonomy and agency over their choices, nurturing new connections, co-operation, working with adults beyond school or family, and the freedom to try new things while reducing the fear of failure.
Currently we are fully booked for long-term Forest School. Please contact us to discuss the needs of your students and the possibility of joining our waiting list. We may be able to offer a taster session to see if your group would benefit from this approach.
“Forest School creates opportunities to be successful whilst building teamwork, self-esteem and confidence. One of our pupils has not received a suspension for over a term and a half. This remarkable progress reflects the shift in persistent disruptive behaviours. The number of lesson removals has dropped dramatically, and he has improved his engagement in lessons.”
Play, explore and enjoy a fun-filled day with woodland activities such as tracking and trailing, den/shelter building and woodland crafts including creating woodland jewellery, leaf printing, wand making, fire lighting and cooking. For primary age children, Year R-6.

Already have an accountA visit to Home Farm gives children a stimulating experience of a working organic mixed farm and a memorable day outside in beautiful countryside. Learning outcomes can be tailored to the topic being studied in school and the age of visiting children.
During a visit to Home Farm children and young people are encouraged to make the connection between food they eat and food production on the farm. Whilst activities and itinerary depend on the time of year, a visit to the farm always involves a tour of the dairy enterprise, including seeing cow sheds and the calf-barn, where children have close but safe access to cows, children make butter from cream, taste fresh, organic (pasteurised) milk, and about the lifecycle of dairy cows. Pigs can be also be visited, after a walk across farmland. In lambing season, children have the opportunity to visit various breeds of ewes and new-born lambs.
Study of the cereal crops grown at Home Farm – during which children grind wheat into flour - provides a further opportunity to talk about the origins of food, the principles of organic farming, and why we farm in this ‘nature-friendly’ way.
All farm visits are a great opportunity for older students to learn about different careers and training opportunities, in line with the new Gatsby benchmark #5 – Encounters with employers and employees.
We offer a Farm to Fork workshop for students studying GCSE Food Technology and Nutrition, with an opportunity to visit the Dairy, see milk processing and Butchery, and meet the Executive Chef, gaining insight behind the scenes of a hospitality business. There is very limited availability for this workshop.
Farm visits are available all year round. For schools with high numbers of children eligible for means-tested Free School Meals or Special Educational Needs, free places may be available, and funding to assist with coach travel.
All our farm visits include a free planning visit for teachers, free parking for coaches and minibuses, and there is no charge for accompanying adults. We have wellies and waterproofs available for children who may need them.
To book a farm visit or find out more information, please contact the team.
Seeley Copse is a 20 acre area of semi-ancient woodland directly opposite Home Farm dairy and the location of the Goodwood Education Centre. This provides a myriad of opportunities for outdoor learning, exploration and discovery.
Visits to Seeley Copse are designed to promote an improved understanding of the ways of the natural world. Through first-hand exploration and discovery, children become familiar with concepts including minibeasts and woodland habitats, soil, food chains and ecosystems.
One of our most popular workshops is Terrific Trees, available all year round. Feedback from a primary school ‘Thanks for the warm welcome, the high quality activities, the very welcome hot drinks, for organising the smores and the campfire. We always know we are in good hands when we come and visit you. You are so well organised.’
