Welcome to the Animal Management at Winton.
Mr S Flavell - Head of Technology & Vocational Studies.
At Winton, we offer students the opportunity to study for the Pearson BTEC Level 1/Level 2 Tech Award in Animal Care. This course is for learners who want to acquire sector-specific applied knowledge and practical skills through vocational contexts by studying animal health and welfare. The qualification enables learners to develop their practical skills, such as using appropriate equipment and techniques to handle and restrain different animals, and to prepare and clean out animal accommodation ready for use using realistic vocational contexts. It will also develop personal skills, such as self-management and communication, through a practical and skills-based approach to learning and assessment.
The department is equipped with a fully functioning veterinary examination room, as well as a dog grooming room, and rooms for small mammals, aquatics and reptiles.
Externally there are large paddocks for pygmy goats, geese and ducks, ornamental pheasant, quail and chickens. In addition, there are 8 pens for specialised Orpingington breeding programme.
Students have the opportunity to attend our Animal Care Club which is run by Year 11 students.
