School Workshops

Suitable for EYFS, KS1 and KS2

Our school animal workshops provide a structured, curriculum-focused learning experience for Primary & Secondary pupils. Each session is delivered in school by an experienced Animal Club Ranger and combines guided discussion with carefully supervised animal interaction.

Workshops are designed to support science learning objectives while encouraging curiosity, confidence and engagement. Sessions are adapted to the age and needs of each class and are suitable for a wide range of learners.
