We are delighted to have the opportunity to demonstrate the great work that your children do with us, and strongly encourage as many families as possible to take the time to complete the parentview survey.
We look forward to the next two days, and thank you all for your continued support.
Today, in F2, we started our the half term lighting up our classroom with Diwali. We learned about the festival. We made some beautiful art. We made some delicious sweets. As we go along the week we will learn more about festivals and how we can shine our light to be kind. How do you shine?
Our stargazing event will run between 5 and 7pm this evening. Thank you to all those of you who have signed up! Food will be served around 6pm. Children are welcome to bring a cushion and blanket and we advise they wrap up warm. Children MUST be collected between 6:50pm and 7pm- they cannot walk home alone.
2P looked at the Sikh faith and how prayer is an important part of worship. We considered things that we are thankful for and also others who might be in need of help. We wrote our own list of things that might be used as a prayer for those with beliefs. We then looked at the Sikh Khanda symbol. We created our own mosaics using this symbol as a central part of our patterns.
This lovely lot all worked so hard last half term. Brooke engaged in numerous high quality home-learning every night. Syzmon attended all booster sessions and Joseph smashed reading plus!
We are so proud of you all and hope you enjoy your Halloween treats!
Thank you to all those who have downloaded Asda’s cash pot and selected Plover! We are almost at our £500 target. Please keep sharing with your family and friends as all of the money will go back directly to your children!
Well done to the 16 girls who represented Plover in a local football match against Mount Carmel. Y5 girls won 3-0, Y6 girls lost 2-0. A great way to end the term! #LovePlover

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.
Bikeability at Plover!
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.
Well done to our Y1/2 children who took part in their first ever football tournament. They finished 5th – winning 2 games, drawing 2 games and losing 3 games. Plovers superstar player was Y1 Vinnie – for his 2 goals! #LovePlover
