Introducing the Cast of Grease: Alfons as Sonny

Dover Court International School is delighted to welcome Richard Vaughan as Principal, having joined the school at the start of the 2026-27 academic year. Bringing more than 25 years of educational leadership experience across the UK and internationally, Mr Vaughan joins Dover Court with a strong track record of fostering academic excellence, inclusive education and community-building.

Behind many of the events, celebrations and initiatives that enrich life at Dover Court is a dedicated community of parent volunteers. Through the Dover Court Association (DCA), parents help build connections, support students and create meaningful experiences for families across the school. From welcoming new families and organising community events to supporting sustainability projects and student-led initiatives, every contribution helps strengthen our community. Find out how you can get involved and make a difference this year.

Can an inclusive school also deliver strong academic outcomes and provide appropriate stretch and challenge for students working above age-related expectations? At Dover Court International School, we believe the answer is yes. Inclusion is embedded across every aspect of school life, from teaching and learning to wellbeing, personalised support and enrichment. Through our Pathway 2 provision and whole-school commitment to adaptive teaching, students receive the challenge and support they need to thrive.

Dover Court International School is celebrating an outstanding 100% pass rate across all ASDAN programmes in the 2025-26 academic year. Students successfully completed the ASDAN Certificate of Personal Effectiveness (CoPE), Towards Independence and English Short Course programmes, developing valuable skills in communication, problem-solving, independence and self-reflection while achieving recognised qualifications.
