Albert, our school dog, was very grateful for the kindness extended to him today. Mark (yr2) wrapped him in a Buxlow scarf to keep him warm and Grace (also Yr2) gifted him with a Christmas jumper. We love how considerate and thoughtful our pupils are 🫶 #buxlowbrilliance #factanonverba #wembley #brent #schooldog #miniatureschnauzer
