Ufton Court

Ufton Court A leading history and outdoor learning centre set in 44 acres of ancient woodland in South East England.

Run by The Ufton Court Educational Trust, a children’s charity, we make learning fun, spark curiosity and create lasting memories. Ufton Court is a leading history and outdoor learning centre set within 44-acres of ancient woodland on the Berkshire/Hampshire border. Run by children's experiential education charity, The Ufton Court Educational Trust, we offer a range of exciting and immersive outdo

or learning and history school trips and residential visits that support national curriculum topics, as well as trips and experiences for children's charity and community groups. We make learning fun, spark curiosity and create memories that last, inspiring children to have a passion for history and the environment whilst developing them as individuals. The Ufton Court Educational Trust is a registered charity (no: 1116659) that subsidises costs for children from disadvantaged backgrounds so that all children can benefit from the freedom to flourish outside the classroom. Ufton Court also plays home to alternative learning provision The Nest. The Nest is a ‘day-a-week’ term-time programme that supports children facing challenges in the mainstream classroom or who may be at risk of exclusion at school, to form positive experiences, improve self-esteem, self-efficacy and resilience as prerequisites for learning. With two dedicated on-site hubs led by highly qualified and experienced staff, a trauma-informed and therapeutic approach is used to create a nurturing space for the children to feel valued, understood and supported. The programme also includes creative, outdoor, experiential and practical learning opportunities, tailored to and sensitive to the needs, strengths and interests of each child.

This week is Volunteers’ Week and we want to use it to properly celebrate the people who make Ufton Court what it is.

Our volunteers give their time, their knowledge and their care to Ufton and without them, thousands of children each year would have a very different experience.

They are gardeners, storytellers, crafters and a whole lot more. All week, we will be sharing short interviews with some of our volunteers, hearing in their own words why they keep coming back to Ufton Court.

We hope you enjoy getting to know them as much as we do. Thank you to every single one of you. We are so grateful 💚

Introducing Daisy & Bluebell 💚

Our farm has been growing this year and our two new Pygmy goats have definitely stolen hearts at Ufton!

The Nest children have given them the warmest welcome (with lots of cuddles & treats) and we can’t wait for them to join our other goats in their exciting new enclosure that’s coming soon!

We have received some amazing new props thanks to the talented students at !

As part of their Propmaking and SFX client project, this brilliant group spent months designing and building a whole collection for us. From canopic jars and sacrificial animals for our Egyptian sessions, to Roman armour children can actually wear, rotten food and severed hands for crime and punishment and fake glass for our trading sessions, every piece is incredibly made!

A huge thank you to - we hope these props serve you well in your portfolios, because they are going to bring history to life for thousands of children at Ufton 💚

Happy World Bee Day! 🐝

We recently split our hive in two, a nerve-wracking but exciting time, and we’ve been rewarded with hatched queen cells and frames full of honey.

Two thriving colonies, one very happy Ufton!
