Max is our school dog and he is a rough-coated Jack Russell born in March 2021. 

Jack Russells are by nature gentle and friendly creatures and Max is a very affectionate, sociable dog.  Max attends on a Thursday & Friday. He is a popular member of the school community.

His main place of residence whilst in school is Mrs Ralfs' office. He is available for the children to pat and play with under strict supervision at certain times of the day.  He is available to work with children who have special needs, suffer bereavement or who are upset in any way and in need of calm, comfort and space before being able to tell an adult what has upset them.

Children from both the Infant and Junior Schools have gained a great deal of enjoyment from having a school dog and Max has become an established part of life at Yatton Schools. A full risk assessment has been prepared for the dog.
