A teacher says adopting the animals has been 'amazing' and has had a positive impact on children.
Year 4 teacher Olivia Goddard from Waterside Primary Academy in Chesham said having three of the animals there had been "amazing" and taught children about responsibility and nurturing.Eight-year-old Hari, a pupil at Danesfield School in Marlow, said: "It's really calming, especially when they lie down when you are brushing them.
"Caring for an animal at home is not possible for some children but by spending time with the pigs in this way, they get all the great social and emotional benefits," she said.Ms Goddard said: "This has been one of the most amazing things we have done, not only has it helped the children teaching them responsibility and nurturing, but it is also very good with the wellbeing side.
Waterside has created the role of Pig Rangers, where Year 5 pupils feed and clean the pigs each morning before school starts.Robert Colley, head teacher of Danesfield School, said the pigs were now "a much-loved part" of its community.
