At Dove House we recognise that our learners are individuals, learn in different ways and we understand that one pathway through Key Stage 4 is becoming less appropriate to their varying needs. In response to this we have carefully designed a 2 pathway approach (we look at each cohort separately and where appropriate we also introduce a 4th Pathway with an extra Life Skills focus) to offer each learner a route which will best meet their learning styles, engage them and, of course, help to prepare them for their future.
At Dove House School Academy we take pride in offering each pupil a route which will best meet their learning needs, engage them and, of course, help to prepare them for their future.

Pupils will generally work towards Entry Level Qualifications where appropriate in the core subjects:
Their Foundation learning programme will also include a broad balanced range of subjects including:
