Beautiful Work This Week

Book launch on track!

Our latest Trust publication ‘Rail City’ was launched at the amazing Doncaster Gallery, Library and museum – DGLaM.

The book, an updated and lavishly illustrated compendium of all the work created by students across the Trust, over the last five years, captures our city’s rail heritage – and future.  

It is also timely as 2023 is the Flying Scotsman’s Centenary year, the iconic steam engine built here in Doncaster.

Our thanks go to the team at DGLaM and the city council who have facilitated the launch and supported our work across the Trust. 

‘Rail City’  will be on sale in DGLaM, the TIC and Waterstones in the Frenchgate Centre. The perfect present for anyone who loves rail, trains and local history. (You can also purchase the book from our online shop!)

Welcome Back!

We continue to welcome delegates from all over the world. Last week our friends and partners from the Wood Foundation in Scotland joined us once again with 25 teachers from schools in the Aberdeen area.

Over two days they looked at Crew, expeditions and the bigger picture of what we do and how we do it.

They even enjoyed a tour of our students’ work in the heart of Doncaster.

Last but not least as you can see from the photograph with their Crew they also joined in with our charity Christmas Jumper day! 

A day of music for XP Doncaster Year 7!

Dave Evans ran a series of awesome workshops for our Year 7 students with professional musicians! Our students improvised, created digital beats, sang and played the drums!

Merry Xmas from Crew Da Vinci!

Does your child or young person have Special Needs or need some form of additional support in school/college or in their daily lives?

If so, Doncaster SEND Transformation (Local Authority) would love for you to help us by sharing your experiences through our parent/carer survey here: https://forms.office.com/e/idKZiCZjj1?origin=lprLink

As part of our work to improve the SEND offer in Doncaster, we want to better understand the support your young person receives through their education, health, social care and social lives, as well as any support they have received in their transitions from school or into adulthood.

You can also access the survey and find out more about the work we are doing to improve Doncaster’s SEND offer by visiting https://www.doncaster.gov.uk/send-transformation-updates
