We would like to introduce you to Tommy, our school dog. Tommy is a loveable, 8 year old cockapoo. He has been Abbotswood's school dog since he was 8 months old.
Extremely popular with the children (and adults!), Tommy can often be seen around the school and on the gate at the beginning and end of the school day.
