Dovedale Primary School, Liverpool
Dovedale Primary School is situated on Herondale Road in the Mossley Hill district of Liverpool, and was previously known as two separate schools – Dovedale Junior School and Dovedale Infant School – which have since merged. George Harrison and John Lennon of The Beatles, as well as Lennon's lifelong pal, Pete Shotton, attended this school. John and George were not classmates - they attended Dovedale Primary three years apart.
In September 2015 the two schools formally merged management, and are now recognised as a single school by the Department for Education, known as Dovedale Primary School.
