Our animal and plant collections are fantastic living examples that can enable your pupils to develop a better understanding of structure, function, behaviour and the many other topics and concepts that are part of the curriculum. Alternatively, the zoo offers a great location for activities week and reward trips, with a bit of stealth learning thrown in.
Meet and greet
We will meet you at our coach turning circle as you arrive, and give a short welcome with zoo gossip, instructions, and a challenge for your pupils. This is delivered outdoors and ensures your pupils get the best from their day!
What we offer
If you would like teaching input on your visit, we can complement your classroom learning with one of our free mini-sessions at an enclosure. Alternatively, you can book our sustainability lecture (KS3/4) or our walking tours (KS4) (additional charges apply).
