📸 SAY “MACARONI CHEESE!”🫕🧀✨

Class Photo Day was a huge success today! Every single child was fantastic - posing like pros, listening beautifully, and bringing their biggest smiles to the camera! 😍 Swipe to see a little sneak peek behind the scenes of our busy day! ➡️

Running these photos completely in-house is a massive milestone for our school and PTA, and it simply wouldn’t have been possible without our incredible Dovedale community.

A massive, heartfelt thank you goes out to James and Sally from Eastdale Studios 📸 Not only are they amazing Dovedale parents (and Sally a former Dovedale pupil!), but they volunteered their professional expertise to make today happen. 💚🕊️

What happens next?
We know you’re eager to see the final shots! The team is going to be working hard processing the images, and we will release all details on how to view and purchase your child’s class photo after the half term holidays.

Until then, have a wonderful, restful half term break, everyone! ☀️🍦

🌞 DOVEFEST 2026 is fast approaching!

As always, we need lots of volunteers to come along and help keep the day fun-packed, and safe for our community, while raising lots of funds for the children of our school 💚

Are you a gazebo guru who can help with set up? A BBQing legend with a spare hour to flex your skills? Or fancy flogging some raffle tickets?

If so, please check your class WhatsApp/dojo and use the online sign up form to register your interest!

Or dm/email us with any queries.

Huge thanks to those who’ve signed up already 🙏🙏 We can’t do it without you!!

🥹❤️🔥 amazing night!!

IT’S FINISHED! 🎊🥳🏃‍♂️😍

We are beyond excited to announce that the first phase of Dovedale’s playground transformation - our brand-new MUGA pitch - is officially open! The playground has been buzzing, and the feedback from both students and staff has been incredible. We’ll be sharing some of their quotes and reactions with you very soon!

We owe a MASSIVE thank you to our community. ❤️
This project happened because of YOU. To everyone who volunteered their time, helped organise, or came along to support our Panto and our other recent fundraising events, from preloved uniform sales to bake sales - this pitch is your legacy. Your support has turned an ambitious plan into a reality for our children. Thank you! 🙏

But we aren’t stopping there! We are officially moving into Stage 2: raising funds for a second MUGA to sit right alongside this one, plus a range of other bits and bobs to transform playtime. ⚽🏀🏕️

How you can help us reach the next goal…

🎟️ Dovefest: Our upcoming festival is going to be our biggest yet. Save the date for Saturday 27 June, 12-5PM!

🏢 Local Business Sponsorship: We are looking for community partners to sponsor the next stage of our sports complex. It’s a fantastic way for local businesses to support pupil wellbeing, and we’ll make sure EVERYBODY knows about your involvement! 📣

Want to get involved? If you or a business you know would like to sponsor our next pitch, please DM us, or email [email protected] or contact the school office!

Let’s keep this amazing momentum going! 🚀✨
