Dove House Academy

Welcome to Dove House Academy,

We are a special school for 229 pupils, aged between 11 and 19, situated across two sites in Basingstoke. At Dove House, we provide an engaging, aspirational and highly specialist curriculum for young people with Moderate and Severe Learning Difficulties, including Autism and Specific Learning Difficulties.

In August 2023, Dove House Academy was delighted to join Solent Academies Trust, a family of five highly successful Special Schools. Together, our teams are working incredibly hard to maintain and extend the exceptional practice seen every day within our school. This includes populating our new website which is currently undergoing considerable updates – please watch this space!

This unrelenting and dynamic commitment to achieving the very best for every pupil, member of staff and family characterises the vision of Dove House; a place where each and every stakeholder is given limitless opportunities to thrive and to grow within our safe, supportive and nurturing environment. This shared approach is central to ensuring that Dove House pupils will leave us positively-engaged and successful young people, who are well prepared for the wider world.

We look forward to welcoming you to our school.

Faye Watton-Lawrence - Executive Principal
