We have created
a range of programmes to support education in schools on the themes of water and the environment. These are delivered at our Education Centre near the historic village of Abbots Bromley, approximately 10 km north of Rugeley, or alternatively, we can come to you with our outreach programme. The Centre is located in an idyllic setting adjacent to Blithfield reservoir and surrounded by ancient semi-natural woodland.
My 13th year here with children. It is still the best educational visit I use/have ever used. The pupils learn a lot & have fun. Thank you. A super day.
St Mary The Mount Catholic Primary School
The content of the trip was outstanding and covered lots of different parts of the A level syllabus. An excellent visit which catered exactly for our needs. Students thoroughly enjoyed the whole day and learnt even more than I could have hoped.

The Learning Outside the Classroom Badge was awarded to Blithfield Education Centre for providing good quality learning experiences and managing risk effectively.
