We are excited to introduce Merlin, our new therapy dog!

Due to the popularity of Larry with the Taunton School students, Merlin has joined the team this term and is already positively impacting staff and students.

Merlin is an 11-year-old registered therapy dog who sits with Julia in the Health Centre twice a week. He has quickly become a support to students, particularly in those missing home life and their own dogs, but more widely offering comfort and cuddles as well as an icebreaker for students to discuss any concerns.

Welcome to the team Merlin; it’s great to have you.
