Dovelands Primary School
Dovelands is located in the Western Park area of Leicester approximately 1.5 miles west of the City centre. We are an ‘all through’ primary school catering for children across the 3 to 11 age range. At present we have 550 children on roll including the children in our part-time Early Years Foundation Stage classes, which makes us one of the largest Primary schools in the city.
Dovelands is a popular school which benefits from having parents who are interested in their children’s education and who wish to work closely with the school. Parents give generously of their time and skills and there's always a good response to initiatives that call for their support.
Despite being such a large school, there is a strong sense of community within and beyond the school, with many links to cultural and sporting organisations locally.
We work hard to maintain a set of values that have purpose and meaning. We hope that our entire community will work together, recognising the roles they play and strengths they bring. We want every member of staff, every pupil and every parent to feel that their opinion is valued and to believe collectively in the school’s direction of travel.
