## Headteacher's Welcome![](https://dovebank.staffs.sch.uk/images/people/Sally_Dakin_-_Executive_Headteacher.PNG)

I would like to extend a very warm welcome to Dove Bank Primary School and thank you for visiting our website. It contains all of the information you need about our school and keeps you informed about all of the opportunities we provide for our pupils.

At Dove Bank, we aim to provide all our children with the very best opportunities to inspire them to be the very best that they can be. We pride ourselves on making this an inclusive school where all pupils achieve; staff have high expectations for all the children, and we value every one of them as a unique part of our community.

We understand that education is about developing the whole child. Therefore, we place significant importance on teaching our children to become considerate, respectful members of the community who aspire to be successful and make a difference.

I am incredibly proud to be the Headteacher of Dove Bank Primary School, where children are firmly at the heart of everything we do.

Our website will give you a flavour of what it is like to be a pupil at Dove Bank, but if you would like to come and see for yourself, please do not hesitate to contact the school office; I would be delighted to take some time to show you around.
