Join Us for Our Summer Fair – Saturday 21st June, 11am–3pm!
We're so excited to welcome you to our Summer Fair this Saturday! It's set to be a fun, inclusive day for families, friends – and even your well-behaved dogs! 🐶
Here are a few things to keep in mind, ...especially with the hot weather forecast (28–29°C):
- There are limited shaded areas on-site, and pavements may become very hot – please plan accordingly, especially for little paws!
- Do not leave your dog in the car, and please don’t leave them unattended at any time.
- Bring plenty of water for your dog and some poo bags – and kindly take any waste home with you.
- All dogs must stay on a lead while on the school site and at the fair.
Thank you for helping us keep the event safe and enjoyable for everyone. We can’t wait to see you there! 🎈

💙 May is ARFID Awareness Month 💙
ARFID (Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder) is a serious eating disorder, often affecting children with sensory sensitivities or neurodevelopmental differences. It goes far beyond "picky eating" and can have a significant impact on ...health, wellbeing, and family life.
To support understanding, we’ve created an informative poster for parents and carers to help raise awareness and signpost support.
Let’s keep the conversation going, raise awareness, and support every child’s journey with understanding, compassion, and care. 💛

🎗️ NF1 Charity Day at Dovecote School 🎗️
Today, the Dovecote community proudly came together to support Neurofibromatosis Type 1 (NF1) — a condition that’s especially close to our hearts.
One of our incredible students, who lives with an NF1 diagnosis, leads this ...special day every year with passion, courage, and determination. Thanks to her amazing efforts and the generosity of our school community, she has raised over £70 this year! 💙
From green/blue-themed outfits and bake sales to informative activities and fundraising fun, today was a shining example of kindness, awareness, and unity.
We are so proud of her and of everyone who took part. Every pound raised helps fund vital research and support for those affected by NF1.
Thank you to everyone who donated, joined in, and helped make this such a meaningful day. 🌟
