Bumble Wins Gold!

Let’s all give a ‘round of a paws’ to our Senior School dog Bumble, who has not only been awarded a Kennel Club Good Citizen Gold Award, but also holds the Bronze and Silver.

Bumble is a key member of our SEND and wellbeing team, he offers learning support and friendship and his Tuesday lunchtimes are spent walking with pupils as part of the co-curricular programme. This is usually by appointment and these are popular, fun and inclusive sessions.

Bumble, assisted by Mrs Ward and Mrs Flowers helps pupils to practice their communication and English language skills, and he enjoys showing off his tricks and skills for the reward of his tennis ball and treats. In addition to the safe walks, he attends assemblies and regularly escorts pupils to and from their classrooms, although we have to watch him during lunchtime, as he prefers to join our cleaning department, finding crumbs!

If you would like to meet Bumble, he will be at our Open Morning this Saturday 5 October until 10.30am.
