HAP Trip to Port Lympne Zoo

Last Wednesday, Higher Ability students in Years 7 and 8 who have taken part in this year’s State and Independent School Partnership ‘One World’ Project, visited Port Lympne Safari Park with students from Kent College, Skinners, Weald of Kent and Oakley.

The trip included a talk from one of the rangers about the wide and strange diversity of plants and animals, the ways in which scientists classify them and some surprising examples of species where scientists made the wrong classification!  

The students also enjoyed a safari truck ride through the park, getting the chance to see the animals up close.

The key focus of the trip was Port Lympne Safari Park’s work to conserve endangered  species, animals which are all part of our ‘One World’.
