Guinea Pigs at Westover!

 Your children may well have already shared the exciting news that we are looking to add two new additions to our Westover School Family.  Over the course of this half term, classes will be working on earning special points for kindness towards one another.  The more points we earn, the closer we get to getting two school pets.

Educational research shows that there can be huge benefits to having access to animals at school – be it reading to them, spending some calming time with them or helping to care for them – and we can’t wait to get started.

The guinea pigs will be situated in our school library and use hypoallergenic bedding.  If you have any questions regarding them, please contact Mr Upfield.  Whilst we do keep up to date records of children’s allergies, if you think your child may be allergic to guinea pigs or fur, kindly let the office know.
