Blenheim Palace is a huge resource for a wide variety of education uses, available to any education group, national and international. This includes Pre-school, School and Youth Groups, Colleges and Universities, Language Schools and School Language Exchanges.

The wide range of resources, not only in the Palace but also in the Gardens, Park and Estate provides equally for the National Curriculum and for general interest and leisure visits or for any combination of these.

A well targeted and demanding National Curriculum visit can be attractively complemented by use of our leisure facilities. Teachers are encouraged to take a wide view in exploring the possibilities at Blenheim, across many subjects and levels, for the full range 3-18 years and beyond.
