Posted on: 5th Jun 2025A Level Psychology Trip to ZSL London Zoo Our A Level Psychology students recently took part in an engaging and thought-provoking trip to ZSL London Zoo. This visit provided a unique opportunity to explore key psychological concepts in a real-world setting, including behavioural learning theories, and ethical considerations in animal research and conservation. During the visit, students were tasked with applying their psychological knowledge to observe and analyse animal behaviour. They selected an animal and completed a structured activity which asked them to consider the species' characteristics, behavioural patterns, and the potential psychological explanations behind them. This task was completed using an online form and encouraged students to think critically, link theory to practice, and reflect on the role of psychology in understanding both human and animal behaviour. The students showed great enthusiasm and maturity throughout the day, engaging thoughtfully with the exhibits and discussions. We’re proud of how they represented the school and look forward to building on this experience in future lessons.
