Lunch Menus
Telford and Wrekin provide out school dinners. For more information please visit their website by clicking here.
Throughout the year, out values champions consult with the school chef to discuss the menu and ensure that children’s preferences are factored into the menu. We also run competitions during the summer term when the children take part in STEAM projects (Year 3 sandwiches, Year 4 Soup, Year 5 Bread, Year 6 Pizza) the children vote on recipes and these, where possible, get added to our school menu. This is in partnership with Let’s Dine.

School UnifoRms
We only require a logo on a school jumper. This reduces the cost of uniform. Please order the jumper through the office. A PE kit will be provided to you for free.
School Uniform
Our children enjoy the sense of belonging and pride in their school that the wearing of a uniform brings. All children are therefore expected to wear uniform to school.
Please note that it is your responsibility as parents/carers to make sure that your child is in the
correct uniform each day.
The school uniform for our school is:
Purple school sweatshirt/cardigan – these are purchased from school.
White shirt or polo shirt (from any shop)

Our Values
Pupils feel safe at Donnington: September 2023
The Christian vision is made real through the core values of hope, friendship and perseverance. These have a profound and positive impact on how pupils and adults flourish in their personal growth
Essential Policies
SIAMS 2024
The use of Seesaw has increased parental engagement as parents can see what the children have been learning, as their work is uploaded. Homework tasks will be set which lead on from this and videos/ teaching PowerPoints are available to support pupils and their parents. The parents, pupils and teachers are able to comment on work completed or ‘like’ their work and this is a really important tool for engaging with parents. Likewise, parents can comment on their child’s reading done at home using the online reading record, which allows parents take a photo or identify a smiley face rather than having to feel they need to make a comment. Parents like this as it is non-judgmental.

Data Protection Statement and policy
Attainment 2024 (For national Click Here)
Please see national Comparison website:
We are proud that form our different starting points- pupils do make progress, however we are resolved that we must continue to raise the attainment to be in line with national. We are targeting improvements in the attainment data this year through our School Development plan.
The school has worked effectively to raise expectations of what pupils can achieve. There is further work to do to ensure that this is the case, but leaders, supported by a dedicated team, now know exactly how to achieve this.
