Last year the school charity was Canine Partners. Our aim was to raise £5000 which would enable us to help Canine Partners in buying a puppy, support it through training up to advanced level, and to name it.

I am really pleased to say that we have achieved this aim. I am proud to introduce you to ‘Crofton’, a Black Labrador cross Golden Retriever.

He is two months old and we will support him in his training until he is approximately 18 months old. He will then learn his advanced skills before being assessed to see if he has what it takes to be a Canine Partner assistance dog.

We wish him luck in these early stages and we will keep you posted as he develops. Thank you all for your support over the last year.
