EDUCATION
The Beaulieu Estate is an award-winning educational resource for all ages in the heart of the historic New Forest.
Sandford Award 2000 Citation
' The Beaulieu Estate has led the way in heritage education provision for many years. The wealth of study areas and material available to schools is excellent. The ability to study the Tudors, the Victorians and so much of the social history of the 17th and 20th century in one property is probably unique. The education service has not rested on its laurels but continues to develop and grow.'
The Beaulieu Estate offers an exciting range of educational programmes and, because they are as varied as its 800-year history, Beaulieu can offer something to every group, including pre-school, those with special educational needs and adult education groups. All programmes can be adapted to meet specific requirements.
For UK Further and Higher Education
In addition to the programmes offered to schools, the education service at Beaulieu can also cater for Further and Higher Education courses. A suitably programmed visit can be arranged in consultation with us. Beaulieu is particularly suited to students studying GNVQ Leisure and Tourism and Business Studies at all levels and courses have been devised to cater for their needs.
International Education Service
The International Education Service at Beaulieu offers a programme specifically designed for overseas students learning English as a foreign language. The programme has been developed to suit all age groups and abilities. It is suitable for use by both foreign students making a specific trip to the UK or as part of a cultural visit programme devised by an EFL school.
The programme is also suitable for Exchange Partners where schools can arrange for overseas students to be accompanied by their English partners and thereby encourages communication and teamwork amongst the students.
