At Dove Bank, we strive for high standards and feel that these are best achieved when the school and parents are working together in partnership with the child. As a school, we recognise that children need to have the academic skills but we also know that children need to develop resilience, confidence and a positive attitude towards their learning.

Our school benefits from fabulous outside space including a large field, spacious hardstanding playground and fantastic woodland nature areas. Another feature of the school which gives us great pride is the happy, friendly, caring family ethos which enables our children to settle quickly.

We believe that this is vital if children are to achieve their full potential and go on to be successful and independent learners. We hope that you will enjoy looking at our website but if you would like to know more, then please come along and visit our school.

Ethos -Dove Bank is committed to providing a broad education where all children can reach their potential in a happy, caring environment which encourages them to value themselves and those around them.

Vision - At Dove Bank, we have strong values and vision that promote equality and inclusion; embracing our diverse and rapidly changing world.

Our primary belief is that every child is an individual with limitless potential – and, working in partnership with yourselves, it’s up to us to unlock those talents and confidence.

Put simply, our vision is to achieve true potential for all.

We have 5 key areas that encompass our vision and steer our moral compass for the next generation we support:

Children in our care must reach their age-related expectations in the core curriculum areas

Our children are to enjoy a relevant, rich and creative curriculum

Well-rounded skills development ensure our children are confident, future-ready individuals

Through the celebration and appreciation of diversity, children have strong global awareness

Children experience an age-appropriate learning style that enhances independence

We have a compelling desire to provide high quality, personalised and rounded education for everyone, right in the heart of our local community. We believe that no school can be deemed successful unless all those around it are also successful, popular and flourishing. Hence we believe that dynamic, mutually accountable collaboration and challenge between local schools as members of the LiFE MAT is the cornerstone of our future success.

Each of our schools needs to be seen as a leader of, and vital to, its local community; each school is regarded as fundamental to the identity of its surrounding community. In this capacity we will relentlessly promote the values of inclusion and the celebration of diversity, alongside personal responsibility and respect.
