School Description

Dovetree is an ambitious school. Pupils, staff and the wider school community are inspired by the drive to ‘Dream, Believe, Achieve’. Pupils’ personal development is at the heart of everything that the school does. It is woven into all aspects of the curriculum, teaching and wider provision. This prepares pupils well for their next steps. All pupils go on to meaningful employment, education or training. They are well supported. Relationships between pupils and staff are consistently, highly positive. Over time, pupils learn to conduct themselves very well. They are expertly supported to achieve this. Staff know pupils well. Staff provide bespoke help and encouragement. One pupil, with a comment that was typical of many, said, ‘Staff are great at helping us to regulate.’ Pupils are highly motivated by the rewards on offer. The school’s points system is commonly understood and applied. Pupils know that, showing positive attitudes, being safe, respectful and kind will earn them points. The points ‘double up days’ are popular. Points are exchanged for sought-after rewards, including visits to the local trampoline park, cat café and time in the school’s recently opened gym. Achievements are recognised in the well-attended and busy ‘Celebration Assemblies’. The school ensures that everyone’s success is recognised.
