"Fantastic facilities and amazing staff!"

We are so impressed with the school's facilities, particularly the playground and the library. The staff are always available to answer any questions we have and make us feel welcome. Our child is thriving in Year 1 and we couldn't be happier.

The Rainbow Flag Award and the Inclusion Quality Mark are just a testament to the school's commitment to inclusivity. Our child loves coming to school and can't wait to share their adventures with us every day!

"A good school with some areas for improvement"

We moved our child to Dovedale Primary School from a different school and were initially delighted with the warm welcome we received. The staff were friendly and the classes seemed well-structured. However, as we got to know the school better, we felt that there could be more communication with parents about things like homework and school events.
