Menston Primary School

Wednesday 24th July

The Dog Mentor I am delighted to let you know that, thanks to funding from the Parish Council, we are joining The Dog Mentor Programme this month and introducing our own school dog to Menston Primary School. The Dog Mentor programme has built upon the benefits of the human-animal bond by providing children positive experiences with dogs that can help them educationally, developmentally, emotionally and socially. Mrs Meakin’s Cavapoo, Bonnie, will be our school dog. Many families will already know Bonnie and we are confident that she has the right temperament to be an excellent school dog. We envisage that The Dog Mentor Programme will have a positive influence on the school environment as a whole and we look forward to the impact the programme will have on our children. Full training will be given to Mrs Meakin and Bonnie, in order to ensure that the welfare of everyone involved is maintained as a top priority.
