DOVER COLLEGE: WHERE CHILDREN BELONG, THRIVE AND GROW
Choosing the right school is one of the most important decisions a parent will make for their child. At Dover College we understand that this choice is about finding a place where your child will truly belong, thrive and grow. We are a school with a rare sense of place and purpose; since our foundation in 1871, we have fostered a close-knit, family-orientated community.
At the heart of Dover College is a promise: we are unwaveringly pupil-focused. Our pupils are not anonymous. They are seen, understood and supported as individuals. The goal is not only for our pupils to succeed academically, but also to grow in confidence, character and kindness. Our pupils leave with a strong sense of who they are and what they can contribute.
Our TICK values: Tradition, Inclusion, Community and Kindness, shape the daily life of the school. They can be seen in the way pupils greet one another, take part, look after younger children, serve the wider community and learn to belong.
Dover College is large enough to offer breadth, but small enough for pupils to be genuinely known. This balance means children can be stretched without being lost, supported without being limited and encouraged without being pressured into becoming someone they are not.
Our small class sizes are central to this approach. We offer a truly personalised learning experience, where pupils receive the attention and encouragement they need to flourish. Young people who may have struggled in larger schools thrive in our warm and caring environment.
We offer a vibrant co-curricular programme across sport, academic societies, adventure, the arts, outdoor learning and charitable service. Pupils are encouraged to take part, try something new and discover where their interests may lead.
Discover why families choose Dover College at our Open Morning on 26 September.
