Education, Business and Skills Centre

Inspiring children to learn â€¢ Connecting curriculum to the workplace

The Great Grounds Education Centre is set in 25 acres of woodlands, wetlands and meadows in the heart of Staffordshire Moorlands.

The Centre provides a range of facilities and services for primary school children, school leaders and teachers, focused on developing a better understanding of the link between curriculum, outdoor vocational skills and the natural environment.

The unique Centre, which is thought to be the first of its kind in the country, provides great spaces to teach and learn, with both indoor and outdoor space for workshops, meetings, exhibitions and conferences. The Centre is particularly suited for teacher training where innovation linked to outdoor learning are a key focus and for primary school children who do not normally engage effectively in mainstream education.
