This term marked a significant milestone as we proudly hosted the very first XP Trust Primary Sports Day, bringing together pupils from Plover Primary School, Green Top School, Carcroft Primary School and Norton Infant School for a day of sport, teamwork and celebration.

The event was a fantastic opportunity for children from across our Trust to come together, build new friendships and enjoy a wide range of sporting activities in a fun, supportive and inclusive environment. Throughout the day, pupils demonstrated determination, resilience and excellent sportsmanship, encouraging one another and celebrating every achievement.

From exciting races to skill-based challenges, every event gave pupils the chance to challenge themselves, work as part of a team and experience the joy of being active. The atmosphere throughout the day was filled with enthusiasm, encouragement and smiles, with supporters cheering on every participant from start to finish.

The success of the event was made possible through the collaboration of staff from across the XP Trust, whose teamwork and commitment ensured the day ran smoothly and provided memorable experiences for every child involved.

As the first event of its kind, the XP Trust Primary Sports Day highlighted the strength of working together as a Trust. By bringing our schools together, we created opportunities for children to connect, compete and celebrate their achievements as part of a wider community.

We would also like to extend a special thank you to the Doncaster Rovers Academy for joining us to present the awards at the end of the day. Their support added to the occasion and reflects the exciting partnership that continues to develop between the XP Trust and Doncaster Rovers Academy. We look forward to working together to create even more opportunities for our young people in the future.

A huge thank you to all of the pupils and staff who helped make the day such a success. We are incredibly proud of everyone who took part and look forward to making the XP Trust Primary Sports Day an annual tradition for many years to come.

Well done to the winners Green Top Primary School.

LOOK OUT FOR THE VIDEO SOON.

Our Year 9 Sports Leaders recently had the fantastic opportunity to support Owston School Sports Day, putting their leadership skills into practice while helping to create a fun and inclusive experience for younger pupils.

Throughout the day, our students led a variety of activities and events, demonstrating confidence, responsibility and enthusiasm. From organising races and explaining the rules to encouraging participants and celebrating every success, they played a key role in ensuring the day ran smoothly.

The Sports Leaders were excellent role models, showing patience, positivity and teamwork as they worked with children across different year groups. Their encouragement helped pupils to take part with confidence, enjoy being active and experience the values of fair play and sportsmanship.

This opportunity provided our Year 9 students with valuable real-world leadership experience. By communicating effectively, solving problems and adapting to different situations, they continued to develop important skills that extend far beyond sport.

We are incredibly proud of the maturity, professionalism and commitment shown by all of our Sports Leaders. Their willingness to volunteer their time and support the local community reflects the character and values we strive to develop at XP.

A huge thank you goes to Owston School for welcoming our students and providing such a rewarding opportunity. We look forward to continuing to build these partnerships and giving our young leaders more opportunities to inspire others through sport.
