We would like to introduce you to Dottie, our wonderful school dog.

Dottie is a Cockapoo, which are bred to be sociable dogs and are often used as therapy dogs as they are known to be good with children. 

Dottie lives in the main office area of the academy for most of the day but on occasion she is taken around the academy to visit the children. Small groups of children are given the opportunity to spend time with Dottie on a rota basis throughout years 1 to 6.

The children are so pleased and excited when she comes to visit, they are taught how to behave around dogs and have had the chance to walk Dottie around the playground under supervision.

Please keep checking back for 'pupdates' on what Dottie has been doing with the children and staff.
