The morning was closed by Simon Airey from Corner Exotics who talked about fears and phobias and the environments that exotic animals come from. This which helped some pupils and teachers conquering their fears by holding snakes and spiders.

The Healthy Schools Scheme is a Public Health Wales programme to support schools to implement actions that improve the health and well-being of the whole schools community. All schools in Wrexham participate in the scheme with 11 schools having achieved the prestigious National Quality Award.

The Healthy Schools Scheme continues to help support schools to improve children’s health and wellbeing with the hope that the benefits go well beyond the classroom and into their future lives.
