School Dog - Reggie
Our School Dog, Reggie is a working, therapeutic dog who comes into school usually once per week to support children on an individual or small group basis. His role in school is to:
- support children to become more confident readers;
- support children with emotional regulation;
- improve the motivation of our younger children to become independent with their self-care;
- motivate children to attend school regularly;
- teach empathy and interpersonal skills;
- reduce stress and anxiety.
Please see our Policies section for our Dogs in School Policy; which includes our Working Dog risk assessment.
