Teachers Go FREE for World Teacher Day on Saturday 10th October.
We loved opening the doors to the teaching community, so have decided to do it all over again, this time in celebration of World Teacher Day (Monday 5th October). To showcase what Dartmoor Zoo has to offer your school and your pupils, teachers and teaching support staff will get free entry into the Zoo when they present their school IDs. We will have our classroom space open for you to explore and drop in sessions running to meet the Education team and get a taster of our workshop offerings.
Conservation education is at the core of Dartmoor Zoo’s mission. Our educational offering currently reaches around 5500 students each year and we would love to grow this by welcoming more schools on site. We have developed our workshops with clear curriculum links, alongside our biggest assets…our animals!
What to expect on the day:
- Free entry for teachers to explore the zoo
- Pod classroom – 11.30am to 3.00pm – explore our main classroom space with our amazing selection of bio-artefacts that we use to bring topics to life
- Goodamoor House – meet our education team to find out more about our schools programme
- Animal talks – take a look at our talk board at the top of the hill for what we have on each day
Please note: This offer is for teachers and teaching support staff only because of its specific focus on promoting our schools programme. We are also very aware of the dedication and hard work of a range of staff in educational settings, not just teachers, and would like you to know that we do offer year-round, 20% discount to school staff via Blue Light Card.
