It was great to see the students in crew working hard in PE this week. You are all demonstrating the HOWLS, work hard, get smart and be kind. We have had some amazing praises this week from teachers to members of crew. Students have been performing their music in front of the class, working hard in HUMS and being amazing on fieldwork.
What a crew we are. WELL DONE.
As part of their Expedition ‘Once Upon a Time’, students in EYFS at Plover have raised money to provide boxes of books to local community organisations, including Doncaster and Bassetlaw Hospital Trust. They posted this update on their social media this week from their Children’s Ward, thanking students for their generous donation.
Across the Trust we have always researched and celebrated Doncaster’s railway story through expeditions. Lots of our students’ work is already out there in the community – including railway stations and parks. Our latest book, Rail City, is also on sale in Waterstones and the Danum Gallery, Library and Museum.
On the 23rd April a remarkable new exhibition – Gresley: Genius of Steam and Speed – will open at DGLaM, featuring artifacts, letters and stories about the man who engineered the Flying Scotsman and the Mallard in Doncaster.
Students from the Trust will be co-creating an audio guide which will be accessible through an app for the exhibition. We will also be helping to create rail related resources for the summer holiday programme of children’s events at DGLaM.

Last week of term and we have a lot coming up!
Monday – Year 9/10 boys football fixture away. We will return to school around 5.45
Tuesday – Cheerleading practice

Wednesday – Netball – Y7/8/9 at home – Games will finish at 5pm.
C26 (Y11) students will have their Spanish speaking exams on Tuesday 23rd and Wednesday 24th April, which are worth 25% of their overall GCSE grade in Spanish. Our Y11 students have been working hard to prepare for these – the next few weeks will be crucial for continuing this preparation and revision.
To prepare, students should be practising past paper role plays and photo cards, and they should also be practising their General Conversation questions. To support them at home, friends and family could test them on these questions, and also reassure them about any anxieties they have about the exam.
We wish our Y11s the best of luck in these exams – ¡Buena suerte!
Cracking work from Crew Tubman this week in English. Mrs Desborough has been really impressed with your efforts this week, with some great work to prove it!
This week English sessions for X27 Admiral have been intense. Expectations have been sky high as you completed your first forty mark English Literature GCSE question. This is all fantastic preparation for your mock exams after Easter.
You all worked incredibly hard for the preparation work and the assessment itself. It has really shown how well you know the play which makes me very excited for year 11.
I am really proud of you all.
Mrs Desborough
