Our Year 10 students recently enjoyed a memorable trip to Peak Wildlife Park, rounding off the academic year with a unique opportunity to connect with nature and learn more about wildlife conservation.
Set in the beautiful Staffordshire countryside, Peak Wildlife Park allowed students to get up close to a wide range of animals from around the world. From walking through open enclosures with friendly wallabies and curious lemurs to observing endangered species such as red pandas and African penguins, the experience was both exciting and educational.
The trip was designed to complement classroom learning with real-world insights into animal behaviour, habitat preservation, and the importance of biodiversity. Students took part in guided talks and interactive sessions led by the park’s knowledgeable staff, deepening their understanding of conservation efforts and the challenges facing many species today.
There was plenty of fun along the way too, with time to explore the park, ask questions, and enjoy the hands-on aspects of the visit. The students showed great enthusiasm, curiosity, and respect throughout the day—making the school proud.
Although this marks our final enrichment trip of the academic year, it was a wonderful way to finish on a high. We’re already looking forward to more outdoor learning experiences and adventures in the new school year starting in September.
