Dringhouses Primary School

October 2019

We had a good turn out of parents during our first visit to Dringhouses Primary in York and the reception we had was great from both parents and staff alike. Several of the parents bought copies of our book Bodies, Babies and Bellybuttons which reassures us that they are  keen to ensure they continue the conversations started by our team during the Growing Up Safe sessions at home.
