Therapy Dog at Howard Primary

Jan 23, 2023

We are delighted to announce that we have been allocated a Therapy Dog!

Pepsi, an adorable cocker spaniel, will visit Howard Primary with her trainer on Mondays. Pepsi has been trained by Pets Therapy, a charity that works in many schools , hospitals and other organisations. Pepsi will spend time being read to by selected children. The aim of the visit is to support children who might be experiencing a difficult time due to bereavement, anxiety or any other big feelings.

If you have any questions, please contact Mrs Pollington on : senco@howard.croydon.sch.uk

How can we talk to children about ADHD?

Jan 8, 2023

   Supporting a child to understand his/her ADHD diagnosis can be very daunting.

The UK ADHD Foundation has put together a fantastic resource aimed at helping children understanding what ADHD is all about. It is a booklet with many activities designed like a detective story.

You can access the booklet from the link below :
