Over the last six months plus we have been discussing the benefit of having a school dog at both the secondary and primary schools. Academic research has shown that dogs working and helping in the school environment can help to achieve the following:

Improve academic achievement
Increase literacy skills
Calming behaviours
Increase social skills and self-esteem
Increase confidence
Teach responsibility and respect to all life
Help prevent truancy
Motivate children who are often less attentive

After much research and discussions with primary stakeholders and other SEN schools and colleges who have successfully introduced a dog, we feel ready to make this commitment. I am really pleased to now introduce Simba!

End of an era, start of a new journey for St. Barnabas Nursery

22/03/2019
Press Release / St. Barnabas Nursery

St. Barnabas Nursery has been a part of the St Paul’s nursery provision for 11 years. The service that the team have provided to children and parents has always been excellent and a real credit to St. Paul’s.

In December 2018 Trustees of St Paul’s carried out a review of the organisations’ business activity and took a decision based on financial considerations to dispose of St Barnabas nursery. This was a very difficult decision but made easier as the manager of the setting Noreen Khan proposed that she take over the business under a new company. Trustees accepted this proposal.
