Prep 5 have been experimenting with blackout poetry using pages from their favourite books. They have used action, horror and comedy-themed poetry, exploring how the tone of the book can be conveyed in poetry form using just a few words from a single page.

Dover College was granted a coat of arms on January 20th, 1931. A version of it is still in use today on uniform, around the College and in marketing material. Here is the crest that we believe was used before the arms were granted (1871-1930).

Prep 4, 5 and 6 had an amazing day learning about mining at the Kent Mining Museum. They learnt lots from the exhibits, met some real miners (including Jack's grandad) and designed their own banners. They also had a rather glorious time in the sun on the play equipment!
