Therapy Dog

At Rockingham Junior and Infant School, our therapy dog is part of the support we offer for children’s wellbeing.

A therapy dog can provide comfort, companionship and a calming presence in school. Spending time with the dog can help children feel more relaxed, confident and settled, especially if they are feeling worried or need a quiet moment.

Time with the therapy dog can also support confidence, communication and self-esteem. Children learn how to behave safely and respectfully around animals, showing kindness, patience and care.
