Student Placements
Preparing animal feed
What’s it like to work with animals? At Kentish Town City Farm we host around 100 students every year on our popular work experience programme, providing opportunities to learn about farm life and animal husbandry.
Typical tasks include taking the animals to & from their pastures, mucking out, feeding, unloading deliveries, animal grooming and day-to-day yard responsibilities. With goats, sheep, ducks, chickens, geese, horses, donkeys, pigs and a cow, there is plenty of scope to learn about the needs of a variety of animals and their care.
We offer three types of work related placements:
- 1 to 2-week work placements for children from schools in and around the London area, prioritising Camden schools.
- Longer placements individually tailored for students studying agricultural or animal related courses.
- Placements for organisations working with special needs.
