Christmas photography update

13th December 2025Miss Blackham

Some children did not take their QR codes home. These will be given to the children on Monday. You need the QR code to view your child’s photograph.

We can’t wait for you to see them!

Doncaster Rovers Elite Experience

12th December 2025Joshua Meade

The 12 children had a great afternoon at Doncaster Rover’s Stadium. They enjoyed a stadium tour and top quality coaching from the Doncaster academy coaches. Finished with lots of fun football games. All children worked hard, developed their skills and showed compassion to their opponents. # LovePlover

Year 3 and 4 Celebration

12th December 2025Mrs Graves

Our LKS2 Celebration is fast approaching on Tuesday at 2pm so here are some final bits of information:

All tickets have now been issued and unfortunately we can not give out anymore due to fire regulations in the church. If you are no longer able to attend, please could you let us know, so the ticket can be reissued.

Raffle tickets will be on sale from Monday and at the Celebration, with a variety of prizes including a Family ticket for four to a Doncaster Rovers game of your choice this season, a teddy bear and more. All the money raised from this raffle will go towards the cost of making our final product next term. We will draw the raffle on Wednesday.

Refreshments will be available at the celebration.

Here is a list of any costumes required – we have tried to keep it as minimal as possible.

We are looking forward to seeing you next week.

Some of our children will be taking them with me to the RSPCA next week just in time for Christmas!

KS1 Pride of Plover

12th December 2025Mr Pickering

Congratulations to our latest winners of the Pride of Plover. We heard lovely stories about growing confidence, more independence, great learning behaviours and brilliant progress. It was fabulous to hear how hard our children are working to get smart. Well done, everyone!
