British Values
As a school, we promote the values expressed on the poster. You will see examples of this around the school, and in the way the pupils and adults treat and respect each other, and take responsibility in school and for their actions.
School Communication
Dear Families,
We realise how important effective
Our main means of communication with you is through the Marvellous Me app. Currently, nearly 90% of families are signed up to receive messages. We are aware that a few people have had some issues with the notifications. The software developers have assured us that they have fixed the problem, but please let us know if you have any problems. Mr Hodgson will be happy to help. The school website (www.dovecote.nottingham.sch.uk) is also a good place to find all sorts of useful information about the school and events. You can also sign up to have the school calendar on your phone.
We also have our two new screens in the playground which show current and future events.
We will still send paper copies of information including an annual list of events. When sending information about a specific event, we will always try to give 2 weeks notice.
Each year group will continue to produce newsletters every half term. These will be on the website, sent via Marvellous Me and available in hard copy.
There is also the board by the main reception which shows events for that week.
Remember, you can always talk to staff (please remember
We have our annual parent information packs which are full of useful information about your child’s current year group.
Don’t forget the parent information meetings which this year are on; Monday 19th November, Monday 21st January, Monday 11th March, Monday 29th April and Monday 17th June.
Parents’ meetings this year are on Tuesday 16th & Wednesday 17th October, and Tuesday 5th & Wednesday 6th February, with the Open Afternoon on Monday 25th March.
Due to the disruption to the start of term as a result of the building work over running, I would like to confirm that the INSET days for the rest of the year are as originally published on the annual dates list;
Friday 4th October, Friday 4th January, Tuesday 23rd April, Friday 28th June.
