Support Guide Dogs from the classroom
"Over the last three years we’ve chosen to support Guide Dogs as our charity as it’s something our pupils can understand and see the benefit of in the world around them. We launch with a speaker visit to talk to the pupils about how having a guide dog has changed their lives: the independence and bond between owner and dog. We then use Guide Dogs’ learning materials, and this inspires our sponsored activities."
