Welcome to Dovery Down

​

Welcome to Dovery Down Lower School.

​

We are a rapidly improving, small community school that prides itself on developing its pupils as caring, supportive and active members of the community.

​

Our school believes the personal development of pupils, spiritually, morally, socially and culturally plays a significant part in their ability to learn and achieve. We therefore aim to provide an education that provides children with opportunities to explore and develop their own values and beliefs, high standards of personal behaviour, a positive caring attitude towards other people, an understanding of their social and cultural traditions and an appreciation of the diversity and richness of other cultures.

​

We are committed to providing inspirational and innovative teaching and the highest quality learning experiences for all our pupils.

​

Our aim is to provide a purposeful and enjoyable learning environment within our beautiful setting providing an enriched curriculum and enabling all pupils to achieve their full potential.

​

If you would like to find out more about our school then please do browse our website further or to request a visit to school please contact the school office and we would be very happy to show you around.

Warmest regards
