School Description

Dove school caters for a small number of pupils. In the past, coming to school has not always been easy for these pupils. Dove school is different; everyone is treated with respect and is encouraged to believe they can succeed wherever they are starting from. The can-do attitude of staff is infectious, and pupils quickly begin to believe in themselves and learn. Pupils believe that staff do their very best to help them to get as many qualifications as they can, even if they arrive in Year 11. Pupils also told inspectors that staff make sure they understand what they need to learn and are always patient if they do not understand first time. Pupils’ attendance at school is often part time to start with. This continues until school staff, pupils and other professionals decide they are ready to increase their time in school. The well-thought-out curriculum which pupils study increases as they are able to spend more time in school. Pupils behave well both inside and outside lessons. School is a calm and harmonious place. Pupils are polite to staff and visitors. No incidents of bullying were reported last year or this year.

This school is independently managed and its admission criteria may be selective. There is no set catchment area as pupils are admitted from a wide variety of postcodes and, in the case of boarding schools, from outside the UK.
