Year 10 Business Trip –Drusilla's Zoo

On Monday, the Year 10 Business students went on a trip to Drusilla's Zoo. The trip included an educational presentation on Drusilla’s as a Business and Marketing entity (with specific links to the AQA GCSE specification). Drusilla’s is a thriving independent business, and a fantastic example of how a small business can grow through successful marketing with a strong focus on the customer experience.

The students had some free time to explore the zoo and complete a ‘Marketing Fact Finding’ task. Finally, the students and staff got to join in on a ‘meet and greet’ with a few of the smaller animals. Fun was had by all, and we got to understand the zoo from a business point of view.

We will certainly be able to draw on these examples back in the classroom.
