Home News & Events Visit to Northumberland Zoo

3rd November 2026

Visit to Northumberland Zoo

AM3 had a fantastic visit to Northumberland Zoo, where all students were excited and fully engaged throughout the trip. Seeing the Highland cows and the snow leopards was a real highlight, especially as the animals were so close, allowing the students to observe them at close range. The visit provided a wonderful opportunity for students to explore, learn about different animals and share an exciting experience together. It was lovely to see everyone so enthusiastic and interested, making it a memorable day for all. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit and will definitely be going again!

S2 Trip to Northumberland Zoo

This term, our S2 pupils have been learning about animals, exploring the fascinating diversity of the animal kingdom and discovering how different species survive and thrive in their environments. Pupils have developed their understanding of animal classification, habitats, adaptations and the importance of biodiversity. To end our fantastic term pupils had a great time visiting Northumberland Zoo.

The trip provided a wonderful opportunity for pupils to see a variety of animals up close, learn about different species and discover more about the importance of wildlife conservation. Throughout the day, pupils enjoyed exploring the zoo, observing the animals and finding out more about their habitats and behaviours. It was a great opportunity to bring learning to life outside the classroom, encouraging curiosity, teamwork and a greater appreciation of the natural world.

It has been great to see pupils developing their knowledge, curiosity and appreciation of the natural world throughout the topic!
