Like the dandelion, Service children can thrive wherever they land.
Every April, we come together to honour and celebrate the invaluable role Service children play within the Armed Forces community. Stay tuned as we share the inspiring tales from our schools and settings throughout the month, showcasing the resilience and spirit of the DCS children who inspire us every day.

Happy Month of the Military Child from all of us at DCS Headquarters!
On Tuesday 1st April, we kicked off our Month of the Military Child celebrations with a coffee morning and an early ‘Purple Up!’ day for headquarters colleagues. It was great to see so many colleagues wearing purple and taking a moment away from their desks to get together and celebrate Service children, who are the reason why we do the work that we do!

Episkopi Early Years celebrated Purple Up Day on Friday 25th April. All children and staff were encouraged to wear purple for the day and a host of visitors from our military community attended to showcase their trade and experiences. The children were privileged to learn about the 1 PWRR drums, 84 Squadron aircraft and flight, joint policing with the community, and much more. The excitement was palpable as uniforms were tried on, equipment was tested, photographs were shared and stories were told. What a great morning!
