We are the recipient of the Sandford Award for our heritage education programme. We have held this honour since 1982.
“As one of the great houses of this country, Blenheim Palace is a treasure trove for an educational day out. As they learn about Sir Winston Churchill, tour the splendid palace, and explore the park, pupils and students come to know much more about this key individual from our past and learn about the wonders of this eighteenth century palace and its surrounding estate. Pupils, students and teachers are clear that a day at Blenheim, including participation in the well-organised and delivered workshops, successfully and interactively enables Blenheim to live up to its learning ambition of focusing upon education, engagement and entertainment.”
We offer workshops aimed at KS1, KS2 and KS3 groups.
We are introducing a series of new self-led resources with worksheets in late Spring 2023. These are aimed at EYFS, KS1 and KS2.

We are redeveloping the whole programme. New learning experiences and resources will be created over the next few years to cater for the wider education community. We look forward to welcoming you to our events and educational programme, and invite your comments via our feedback form to help us to keep improving.
Special limited offer: Wild Escape session
We are taking part in this national project and we are inviting KS2 school groups to come and explore the wildlife at our Walled Garden.
From Monday 22nd May until Friday 21st July we will welcome one school per day. There are four possible time slots between 9.30 and 14.30. The maximum capacity for each time slot is 30 children.
We hope to inspire the children to create a piece of artwork or writing after the visit. We would love to see your creation; either send them in or email us some photos. Ideas will be provided during the session.
Please email education@blenheimpalace.com for more details, availability and booking.
