Dovedale Junior School

Dovedale Junior School is a junior school situated on Herondale Road in the Mossley Hill section of Liverpool, Merseyside, England. It is a mixed community school founded in 1908. The school occupies the same estate as Dovedale Infant School; the schools are sometimes jointly referred to as Dovedale Primary School. It is Dovedale Primary which is probably best known as the school which George Harrison and John Lennon of The Beatles, and Lennon's lifelong pal Pete Shotton, attended. In the 1950s it had a very good reputation as a 'feeder' school for Liverpool grammar schools such as Quarry Bank High School and Liverpool Institute for Boys. In 2001, John Lennon's widow, Yoko Ono, donated £15,000 for school refurbishments.
