Beautiful Work This Week
Children in Need @ Plover
The lovely Year 5 & 6 children have been learning all about Children in Need this week and why the cause is so important. They wanted to raise more awareness, so even more children could be supported. We hope you like their version of ‘I’ll Stand by You’ as we stand with everyone who needs the support!
Beautiful Curation at Green Top

Crew @ Plover
We asked our students at Plover what Crew looks like and what it means to be Crew – this was their response.
XP Trust – Protecting our Planet
On Friday 15 November Koen Timmers, the world renowned climate educator, visited XP Doncaster to present our students with a plaque entitled, ‘Climate Action Heroes’ in recognition of the work done by students across our Trust in pursuit of our curriculum seam of ‘Protecting Our Planet.’
The recognition is also for being part of the Climate Action Project which allows us to connect with students and learners from across the globe to find practical and impactful solutions to the climate emergency.
Meeting Professional Athletes
Last term, students met a few of the Doncaster Rovers first team players and were able to have photos and get autographs from the players. Students asked questions about the life of a professional athlete and the journey that the players have been on playing for different clubs. It was great to hear the players speak about our character traits and how these character traits link to sport.
In the same week, students visited Hill House school to listen to Olympic gold medal GB hockey player Sam Quek. Her experience as an athlete and the ups and downs she has faced really helped our students to understand that if you want something in life you have to work hard for it! Students were able to have a photo and ask questions to Sam at the end – they even held her gold medal.

Year 11s Hard at Work Annotating Their Poetry Anthology in Preparation for GCSEs
Our Year 11 students are putting in an incredible amount of effort as they work their way through annotating their entire poetry anthology in preparation for their upcoming GCSE exams. Every page is filled with thoughtful insights, detailed observations, and connections that showcase their growing understanding of the poems.
Your dedication and enthusiasm are shining through, and we have no doubt that it will pay off in your GCSEs.

A big thank you from Crew Spencer!
We are thrilled to announce that Crew Spencer has successfully raised a total of £286 for Macmillan Cancer Support! This incredible achievement is thanks to the enthusiasm and dedication shown by our students in completing a sit-up challenge and organizing a bake sale. We are so proud of the hard work put in by everyone involved and are deeply grateful for the generous support from our parents and community members.
Your donations have made a difference, and with your continued support, we look forward to creating more opportunities to raise funds for such worthy causes throughout the year.
