THE GREAT LEAMINGTON RESCUE!
On Sunday evening at around 9.50pm, JR and Gustav came running into Leamington to report that a dog was stuck behind School House. Miss Plant and the boys set out to investigate. The yapping and barking was coming from the brambles, and Gustav tried to release the creature with a stick. Miss Plant cautiously swept up into her arms a small dog who now stopped yapping.
​
They decided to have a look around the Priory Hill entrances for any owners who may have been looking for a lost dog. Happily the owners were looking for him and he was returned, all the time observing social distancng.
Deano’s owners were over the moon and wiped tears away from their faces. A good deed was done, and a warm comforting feeling was felt by all.
Jack (Prep 2) has been keeping active during lockdown. He is doing 10 laps of his garden every day for three weeks, to raise money for NHS Charities Together.

A great effort, Jack!
