• A campus-wide wireless network ensures seamless connectivity

The Dove Engineering Centre​

Formerly the Dove First School, this building was transformed in 2017 into a state-of-the-art training centre for apprentices and sixth form engineering learners. Thanks to a £1.2 million investment and the support of JCB Chairman, Lord Bamford, the Dove Centre now stands as a beacon of technical excellence.
