We can offer:

• A friendly and happy learning environment.
• Motivated children and dedicated staff.
• A proud focus on sporting success in competitions.
• A commitment to continued professional development.
• A committed, supportive, and active Governing Board.

Visits to both schools by arrangement are warmly welcomed – please contact us on 01283 813255 between 9.30am and 3.30pm. Please also visit our website for further details of the school – https://www.dovefederation.co.uk/
