SEND Workshops
SEND (Special Educational Needs and Disabilities) Workshops
We offer inclusive hubs out in the zoo suitable for children working at or towards Pre-key stage standards, which can be led by educators with specialist training in SEND, Autism Awareness and Makaton.
We also offer sensory and immersive sessions for children and young adults working to the Engagement Model or pre-key stage standards. These sessions are held within our Science and Learning centre classrooms using a range of bioartefacts and live animals (subject to availability).
15-Minute Sensory Hub
Patterns and Camouflage: This is a very flexible, pupil led session giving the opportunity for sensory exploration of some of our animal biofacts (skins, pelts, skulls etc). A chance to look at spotted, striped and plain patterns and to think about why these patterns are useful. This hub session is tailored to suit pupils working to the Engagement Model and Pre-Key Stage 1 & 2 levels only.
Please refer to the SEND 15-Minute Sensory Hub overview sheet for more detail.
This session is held in our Science and Learning Centre. You can locate this using our Park Map.

Rainforest and Savanna: This is a very flexible, pupil led session giving the opportunity for sensory exploration of some of our animal biofacts (skins, pelts, skulls etc). The session is themed around contrasting habitats – hot/cold and wet/dry. This longer session is held across 2 rooms which gives a quieter space for those that need it. This workshop session is tailored to suit pupils working to the Engagement Model and Pre-Key Stage 1 & 2 levels only.
