We had a very special visitor to school yesterday - Muffin. Muffin was assessed by Jenny from The Dog Mentor and passed, meaning that she is suitable to work in school to support children with their learning. School dogs have been proven to enhance educational, social, emotional, and therapeutic outcomes for children.
The Dog Mentor Programme has built on the benefits of the human-animal bond by providing children positive experiences with dogs. Since 2012, implementation of The Dog Mentor Programme in schools across the UK has proven to have significant impact on many children’s lives. These positive impacts follow the premise that improving communication within schools will improve behaviour.
Welcome to the school family, Muffin!
