Confirmed regular Wednesday PAT Visits

We can now confirm the Pets as Therapy dog will be in school every Wednesday from tomorrow!
Should your child have any pet hair allergies/phobias that you feel we need to be aware of then please do not hesitate to contact us here in the Office. 
He (Charlie!) will be working in Reception for the next few weeks initially.
 
We believe every child has the right to leave school having achieved their reading level potential and reading to a pet offers enormous benefits of that.
Charlie will be visiting us on a weekly basis on a Wednesday afternoon from now on with our aim to ensure that all our children are all given an opportunity to interact with a pet and improve their learning outcomes.
Our PAT Teams who visit schools can help to raise a pupil's reading standard, boost their self-confidence, improve concentration levels and behavioural problems. The visits have a positive impact on a child's educational, social and emotional welfare.
Our Read2Dogs scheme can help young people to improve their literacy skills and encourage confidence and concentration in the classroom. Reading a story aloud to a PAT dog, a great non-judgemental listener, helps young people to enjoy the reading experience.
We hope your child will look forward to spending time with our four-legged friend, which in turn creates a bond of trust, empathy and understanding of the needs of the pet.
Thank-you
