Dog Walking with the Engagement Pathways Pupils

As part of their personalised timetables, pupils on the school’s Engagement Pathways are often given the opportunity to work with dogs as part of their personal development provisions.



This regularly involves walking, training and playing games with the dogs and is a great opportunity for the pupils to engage in something different to their regular lessons. It has also proven to have therapeutic and calming benefits for the pupils and staff alike. Pupils also have the opportunity to gain certificates in AQA unit awards for this too. 

Many of these dogs belong to school staff and it has been confirmed by a number of different parties that they are indeed, good boys (and girls).
