C28 D of E Silver Day 1 – Done!

Well everyone knows what 18.7km looks, feels and smells like! They absolutely smashed it.

Tents are up, trangias packed away and the gourmet boil in a bag meal devoured!

Here’s a little taste of the day…

Year 10 TSLCs

We would like to invite parents and carers to Y10’s first Teacher-Student Led conferences on Thursday, 5th June 2025.

These conferences will provide parents with an opportunity to meet with subject-specific teachers, allow students to discuss and reflect on their progress in different subjects following their upcoming mock exams and look at their own areas for development as they move towards Y11.

Students will be given a booking form which will allow them to book a time between 15:30 and 18:30. These will be booked on a first come first served basis so please ask your child to see their booking form and suggest a time to meet teaching staff.

We look forward to seeing you soon!

Holly has achieved 100% attendance since we started in September!! This is absolutely phenomenal Holly, well done!!

Crew Darling’s First Week Back: Kicking off year 10 with Compassion, Courage and Craftsmanship!

Crew Darling has kicked off Year 10 in style, showing true XP values!


Our first week was packed with team-building activities, including a blindfold challenge that tested trust and courage (well done Junior for leading Crew to safety!), and winning the Egg Drop, proving their craftsmanship and teamwork are ready for the year ahead!

During a micro-adventure around Doncaster, Crew spread kindness, delivering flowers to strangers, including staff at Sue Ryder and Cancer Research, who helped them collect antiques and a mascot. A huge thank you to the people of Doncaster for supporting and embracing our acts of kindness.

Back in school, we listened to expert speakers (XP Alumni) around careers, getting to grips with options for the future! We continued to spread Kindness around school and act as stewards of our community! 

Crew Darling has started a scrapbook to capture these memories and achievements, and there’s plenty more to come! Most importantly, we had a fantastic week rebuilding Crew and the bonds which will support us through our GCSEs!

Watch this space for more awesomeness from Crew Darling!

C28 Terrarium Workshop

C28 have been getting green fingered today. Over the course of an hour they put their learning about the nutrient, water and carbon cycle into practice. Creating beautiful miniature ecosystems that will survive without (much) human interference.

These will be displayed at the Y10 climate conference next Wednesday (17/07/24), where some of C28 will explain to members of the public how they work and how they were created. During this event they will also be for sale for £15, with all proceeds going towards Duke of Edinburgh award. Any that are not sold will be donated to local care homes to help bring the outside in!

If you would like to reserve your child’s creation so it is not sold next week, please send your child in with £15 by next week or if you would prefer to pay by card this can be done in school.

What a great day!

X28 Crew Darling – Smashing their Practice DofE Walk

I was excited to join my Crew last week for their practice walk (from a distance) for their Bronze DofE award. Crew Darling displayed great teamwork, support and compassion for one another on a hot, humid and challenging day. They even tried their hand at some sheep herding! Take a look at the fantastic day that was had, especially impressed with their cooking skills!
