INCLUSIVE EDUCATION Dr Maureen Roach was the driving force behind the inclusivity at Dover Court, heading the school during its restructuring and leading the development of its department for supportive education. In 2014, she was made an Officer of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire (OBE) in recognition of her service to education in Singapore. The inclusive education department continues to support students with additional educational needs to provide students of all abilities with a path to a successful life after school. This aligned with the original ideals of Alliot: to have a school where inclusivity is at the core, and where students of all abilities are fully integrated. "The school was very different under Dr Roach. She was wonderful and very traditional. We had no work emails, messages were sent on carbon copy notes. Devices like iPads were banned and classes mostly didn’t have projectors. We had an eccentric way of doing things but the sense of community that was created was amazing! Everyone knew everyone and the staff and children were very kind and understanding." Sarah Allison Pathways 2 and 3 teacher since 2014 On September 12th, 2002, the school was visited by Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Gloucester, who took particular interest in the work of the Centre for Inclusive Education, and the positive impact of this integration on the whole school. "From day one, I met with students, teachers, therapists, and parents to discuss my vision for the school and to seek their ideas on how they would wish to see the school develop; the value system we wanted to espouse, and how we would build a community that would make a meaningful contribution to society and help to shape it.” Dr Maureen Roach, Principal 1990-2015
NORD ANGLIA EDUCATION In April 2014, Dover Court Preparatory School joined Nord Anglia Education. In September 2014, the name was changed to Dover Court International School and a new era for the school was born. Additional funding was channelled into the school, expanding the campus to benefit the ever-growing student population, as well as implementing the NAE collaborations with The Juilliard School, MIT and UNICEF. 2013 2015 Pictures from Caroline Jarl One visible change was the school uniform. Originally yellow, green and grey, it was changed to the turquoise, grey and white we know today. However, the optional tie, still worn by some students, incorporates the colours of the old uniform, and serves as a memento of Dover Court's past. "I joined the school in 2017, after the Nord Anglia transition. Working for a school that belongs to such a large family has many benefits such as interschool competitions through debating and sports competitions, including the Nord Anglia games. Although we are a small community at <strong>DCIS</strong>, it is good to have the support of a wider community across the globe." Sally Eades-Laird, Teacher of History and TOK, Doverian since 2017
