Bentley is our school dog. He is a King Charles spaniel and he has been a school dog since he was 9 weeks old. He comes to school every day and loves working with the children and staff. As a King Charles spaniel, he is ideally suited to being around children due to the breed's gentle and friendly nature.
Mrs McKenzie is fully responsible for Bentley but he will visit classes around the school and be on the playgrounds at playtimes and lunch. There are many benefits to having a school dog some of which include: Bentley's main place of residence is in Mrs McKenzie's office. Whilst moving around school, he is always with an adult.
He spends time during the day visiting classrooms, listening to children read and exercising on the playgrounds and field with the children. Keep an eye on the class pages to see Bentley's latest adventures!
