XPD hosted eight visitors from the Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust – an organisation established in 1884 – that is one of the top ten charities in the world . The visitors are looking at models of education, visiting XPD to see how and why we do what we do. The feedback they left about our team and students was wholly positive. They were ‘touched, impressed and inspired’. We hope to be able to welcome them again soon.
Plover Primary had an exciting and active day, thanks to the South Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority, who awarded the school a cycling workshop with triple Olympic Gold Champion and Active Travel Commissioner, Ed Clancy. This recognition was given for Plover’s dedication to promoting active travel and the high participation of their students in the Mayor’s Walk and Wheel Challenge. The Bikeability Trust, led by CEO Emily Cherry, generously donated balance bikes to the children, further supporting the school’s commitment to encouraging cycling from an early age.
Cycle North also played a key role, delivering ‘learn to ride’ workshops that taught 26 KS2 pupils how to ride a bike for the very first time. Additionally, Judith Shaw from Doncaster Council Road Safety Education kindly donated bike lights to the school. The day concluded with an inspirational whole school assembly led by Ed Clancy, where children were celebrated with Bikeability badges and snap bands for their achievements.

It’s fantastic to see Crew Da Vinci actively participating in academic crew each morning this week preparing for their mocks. The commitment and dedication from crew to help each other get through this week amazes me.
As they continue to approach their GCSE’s academic crew and learning labs will help strengthen their knowledge and understanding of key subjects. Crew’s attendance as a whole has improved so much this year! As a crew this is something we are proud of and want to continue with improving each term.
Thanks Crew Da Vinci
Over the past few weeks, Crew Spencer has been hard at work raising money for Macmillan Cancer Support through a daily sit-up challenge. Each day, students completed a set number of sit-ups and gathered sponsorships from family, friends, and our wider community to support this important cause.
We’re excited to share a video below showcasing some of our Crew members in action during the challenge—check out their determination and effort!
Thanks to the generosity of those who donated, we’ve reached an incredible total of £132 for Macmillan Cancer Support so far. A massive thank you to everyone who contributed and supported us along the way!
Together, we’re making a difference.

As we approach half-term, we want to remind everyone about the growing collection of lost property at school. We need to clear everything out before the break, so please take a moment to check if any of these items belong to your child.
You can find pictures of the lost property below—have a look to see if you recognize anything.
[Insert Pictures Here]
Any unclaimed items will be donated to charity after the half-term break, so please act quickly if something looks familiar.
Thank you for your attention,
Crew Spencer
