Thank you to everyone who was able to join us for this year’s Sports Afternoon and what an amazing afternoon we had! We saw our school values demonstrated in abundance and, without a doubt, this is the best teamwork and sportsmanship I have ever seen at a Donnington Wood Sports Afternoon. We are so proud of all our pupils!

This week’s safety guide offers insight into the risks posed to children and young people by online gambling and advises you on how to safeguard them effectively.

We are proud to update you on the progress that we have made towards our Eco Project.

The children worked extremely hard in Eco week to help eliminate waste, take responsibility for recycled materials, create no mow areas, and create a hedgerow to mark out our Eco area.

We look forward to continuing this project through a golden time gardening club.
