The Goodwood Education Trust connects children and young people with nature, particularly those who are disadvantaged or vulnerable.
The Goodwood Education Centre is the starting point for the majority of educational visits. This purpose-built, sustainable facility has a bright and airy indoor space for up to 60 children.
Goodwood has a new and ambitious mission to champion and deliver art education for children and young people as a core part of the new Goodwood Art Foundation, a not-for-profit Community Interest Company (CIC). The Estate’s stunning landscape and buildings will provide the perfect location for a new and carefully structured creative learning programme built around the Foundation’s annual Art Programme.
The children haven't stopped talking about their visit to Goodwood Home Farm, and we believe that this experience will have a lasting impact on their understanding of agriculture and the environment. It is wonderful to see our young learners so enthusiastic about their newfound knowledge.

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 and airy 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.
In the Copse itself there are three year round outdoor learning spaces, for our exclusive use. The one nearest the Education Centre has a permanent shelter, while one within 5 minutes walk has a parachute canopy. We work outdoors in most weathers except in very high winds, when alternative activities can be arranged.
