Can working with animals improve behaviour and inspire learning? We follow six Luton teenagers at England鈥檚 largest zoo.

Six Luton teenagers are taught how to handle animals, and themselves, at England鈥檚 largest zoo.

Whipsnade Zoo has more than 10,000 animals living in 600 acres of land. For the last ten years, students from The Avenue Centre, a Luton school for children unable to attend mainstream education, have been taking part in a course designed to improve behaviour and learning through engaging with animals.

18-year-old Blake Recardo was inspired to study animal care at college following his time with Zoo Academy and is now volunteering at the zoo to further his aspirations for a career in animal care.
