We have been really lucky to have some wonderful pets in school.  

We have Toffee the school dog and this year introduced the baby tortoises, Tiny and Turbo. The tortoises have been a great addition to our school and the children love coming to see them.

Children love animals and can learn important skills in responsibility and care. Handling animals can also increase their confidence. We have many children who are wary of dogs and are now happy to be around Toffee. Toffee/Tortoise monitors in Year 6 have been trained to take Toffee out for walks around the school grounds unsupervised by an adult. She enjoys this as much as they do! They also check on the tortoises and ensure that they have enough food and that their environment is just right in terms of temperature and humidity.
