About Us

Ufton Court is a historic mansion dating back over 500 years, and an established history and outdoor learning centre based in Reading. Set within 44 acres of secluded woodland, it is one of the South East’s leading providers of residential and day trip programmes for children providing:

* Immersive history school trips linked to the national KS1 and KS2 curriculum, from the Tudors, Saxons and Ancient Greeks to Stone Age and Prehistory to WW2.

*Outdoor learning residentials and day visit programmes including Bushcraft for KS2 and KS3 students eager to learn the art of survival in the wild, and Outdoor Challenge, designed to foster personal growth and teamwork.

* Therapeutic alternative learning provision, The Nest, partnering directly with schools to support small groups of children through a day-a-week, term-time programme focusing on the holistic development of children’s social, emotional, and physical well-being, in addition to learning progress.

Ufton Court is run by The Ufton Court Educational Trust – a children’s experiential education charity that subsidises history and outdoor trips and placements at The Nest for children from disadvantaged backgrounds. Through their nature-based approach to learning, Ufton Court's mission is to turn the tide on the 10 year decline on children's happiness.
