y Academy Parents Association (DAPA)

 Our Mission

The Dovery Academy Parents Association (DAPA) is a registered charity dedicated to enriching the educational experience for all children at Dovery Academy. We achieve this by organising engaging events and activities to raise funds, which directly support additional learning opportunities and resources for the school.

How We Operate

DAPA is powered by a collaborative committee and a team of passionate volunteers. While we have a formal committee structure, our approach is flexible and inclusive. We welcome support in any capacity, whether you're able to join the committee or lend a hand as an informal "happy helper" for specific events.

We hold an Annual General Meeting (AGM) at the end of June each year. This meeting is an opportunity for families and carers to review our financial performance, discuss plans for the upcoming year, and endorse or register new committee members.

Who We Are

Our current committee is made up of:

• Natasha Rantle - Chair
• Hayley Parr - Treasurer
• Dana Ord - Committee Member
• Sophie Fowls - Committee Member
