Welcome to Dorchester Learning Zone
ImageMy name is John Taylor and I am the zone manager for Dorchester Learning Zone (DLZ).  DLZ encompasses     four separate sites in Dorset; namely the Dorchester Learning Centre, The Mill at Bridport, Kingfisher Ward, West Dorset General Hospital and No51, Dorchester.  We all share one common purpose:  to provide the very best in education and support for all children who (for what ever reason) find themselves outside of mainstream school education.  Whether you be a student, parent/carer, member of staff (or simply curious!), please use this website to find out what we are up to in our zone, and make use of the many resources we have on offer.  Call back often!
