Bedes Summer School 2025 Digital Prospectus

Zoology & Animal Management This two-week programme is perfect for future Veterinarians, Zookeepers, Animal Biologists and those with a love and passion for animals. This course provides a superb opportunity for those pupils who wish to work with animals, wild or domestic, or who wish to have something unusual to sit alongside their scientific qualifications. Students will be able to move on to study veterinary medicine, veterinary nursing, zoology, conservation – and many other courses not directly connected with animals. PROGRAMME INTRODUCTION Bede’s Summer School is delighted to be offering this hands-on, immersive course with unprecedented access to Bede’s Zoo under the expert tutelage of our Zoo Managers and Zoologists. Combining Animal Management and Zoology workshops with practical sessions in Bede’s Zoo in the morning, this programme is enhanced by a Research Project in the afternoons, which enables students to improve their general English language skills, practise communication and build confidence in public speaking. BEDE’S ZOO Situated at Bede’s Senior School, Dicker, the Zoo is home to about 70 different species of mammals, birds, amphibians, reptiles, fish and invertebrates. Catering for their individual enrichment needs can be quite a challenge as each animal has different requirements, as a snake isn’t going to need the same enrichment as a Squirrel Monkey. As a school, we are enormously lucky to have such a facility in our portfolio. In animal management, students look after a range of zoo animals, and help with the dormouse breeding programme to increase numbers in the wild.
