During term time, Animal School specialises in working with SENse learning and the NHS to give experiences to children that are out of school due to SEN and anxiety. We run a weekly animal club on site for children ages 8 - 16. Children can handle a range of mammals, reptiles, amphibians and invertebrates. Cost is £15 per child payable before the session. We can offer some private experiences for

therapy or birthdays but spaces are limited. We are currently fully booked until December 2022. We also run animal and storytelling events throughout the year which are advertised on Facebook. Lindsay produces videos on YouTube which were featured on the BBC News. The channel features Lindsay and her volunteers running the Animal School Centre for therapy and education. Lindsay has at least 120 animals. These are mostly rescued pets and many of them are handled for therapy. Lindsay spent 15 years managing a pet shop, providing animal lectures at events, birthday parties, care home visits and animal therapy for the NHS. Post covid, Lindsay settled her mobile zoo classes in a yurt in the heart of the South Downs and based next to her farm and animal rescue centre. Animal School boasts some of the widest range of species that can be affordably handled by the public. With mammals, reptiles, birds, amphibians, insects, spiders and a mollusc to be met with and enjoyed at the after school club. Please get in touch or Visit our website www.animalschool.co.uk

Rescued baby sparrows. Day three of life.

Kamos still plays like a kitten.

Kamos still plays like a kitten, even though he is now two years old. I got Kamos as a kitten and I trained him to visit carehomes and other facilities with me.

Happy grazing creatures in the evening sun yesterday. I’m so lucky to have them with me. #lindsaysanimalschool #animalschool #turkey #continentalgiant #grazinganimals

Greetings this afternoon from some of the smaller members of Animal School.! Harvest mice are native to the UK and make tiny nests in the grass and hay. These mice are quick and little so we don’t often see them in the wild. They are there, hiding in our verges and hedgerows... a bit like me when I see you coming up the path with less than a 2 meter gap to spare 😂#harvestmice #miceofinstagram #the_animal_school @theharvestmousegoodplace

Some of the smallest members of the Animal School are also the cutest. Did you know that I am going to be launching some YouTube videos for people stuck at home because of Coronavirus (like me) ... @theharvestmousegoodplace #harvestmouse #animalschool #homevideos #petmice #lindsays_animal_school
