Alvin the puppy

Many of you will be aware of our links with Canine Partners, a national charity providing assistance dogs for people with physical disabilities, and will know that Graham Elliott (a ‘Puppy Parent’ for Canine Partners) regularly visits us with his current puppy in training. Back in June we said goodbye to Hannah, a black Labrador who had completed her year of training with Graham. Hannah has now almost fully completed her advanced training and has now been ‘partnered’ with the person she will be assisting. We are all really pleased to hear how well she has done.

This morning Graham came to join the lower school for our weekly celebration assembly and his latest puppy in training came with him, Alvin. Alvin is a very lively 15 week old black Labrador and Explorers, class JW, Class LB and Rainbows all enjoyed meeting him this morning. We all look forward to seeing Alvin progress over the coming year. Thank you Graham for continuing this link with our school.
