Why Dovecote School?

Nestled in the stunning rural heart of Somerset, Dovecote School is an independent special school that opened its doors in September 2022. Our students, aged 5–18, are at the center of everything we do. Each one faces unique challenges, including autism spectrum disorder (ASD), social, emotional, and mental health (SEMH) difficulties, and more. For many, Dovecote represents a fresh start and the opportunity to shine in ways they never thought possible.

• Be a real-life superhero to students who need your guidance and support to overcome barriers to learning.
• Foster confidence, independence, and resilience in students navigating speech and language challenges, attention difficulties, and significant learning needs.
• Help create a fun, engaging, and safe environment where every achievement is celebrated—no matter how big or small.
