The purpose-built, accessible facility accommodates up to 60 pupils and enables safe, hands-on learning year-round, with coach and mini bus parking conveniently located opposite at the Home Farm.
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.
Educational visits are typically delivered in groups of 15–20 pupils. For Forest School and specialist provision, groups are necessarily smaller, with high staffing ratios and exclusive use of a dedicated outdoor learning space to ensure safety, security and familiarity. We calculate the number of Education Guides required to maintain both the safety and educational quality of your visit. Pupils must wear appropriate footwear and warm, waterproof clothing.
Suitable for both primary and secondary pupils, particularly those with Special Educational Needs and Social, Emotional and Mental Health needs, as well as those excluded from mainstream education or at risk of exclusion.
