Freddie is a pet therapy dog who lives with Mrs Cowley (sensory lead at school) and her family. He is a 1 year old pet cockapoo who has a hypoallergenic coat, which means he does not shed! He absolutely loves attention from everyone and especially young people. Freddie is a fully qualified ‘Pets As Therapy dog’ who helps young people to understand animal care and will also support students with their sensory regulation.

Freddie works with students (with parent/carers consent) who have suffered bereavement or who need a calm place to discuss their worries. Freddie spends most of his day visiting students in their classroom or in our sensory summer house where he works 1:1 with students. Students have the opportunity to work with Freddie under Miss Robinson’s supervision. A designated staff member will always be with Freddie while he is working with the students. At no point will any student be left unsupervised. A thorough risk assessment has been carried out before Freddie begins his duties.
