At Christ Church Academy, we are delighted to have Minnie, our wonderful school therapy dog, as part of our community. Minnie plays a special role in supporting the wellbeing of our pupils, providing comfort, companionship, and a calming presence throughout the school day.
Research has shown that therapy dogs can help reduce stress, boost confidence, and create a more positive learning environment. Minnie is always on hand to offer a friendly wag and a reassuring presence, whether pupils need a moment of quiet reflection, a confidence boost while reading, or simply a little extra encouragement.
She is loved by staff and pupils alike and has become an important part of school life. Whether she’s greeting children in the morning, listening to young readers, or offering a comforting presence in our pastoral sessions, Minnie brings joy and warmth to everyone she meets.
