Donnington Care Home Tea Party


Once a fortnight, as part of their Guided Options, Key Stage 4 pupils have been visiting Bupa Donnington Care Home. Today, we were lucky enough to be invited to their tea party organised by Vodafone. As always, our students had a fantastic time interacting with and entertaining the elderly residents. Our link with Donnington Care Home has become even more beneficial than any of us could ever have imagined. It gives both our students and their residents an opportunity to listen to and to communicate with people in their community that they would not normally see.

Skipton and Balmoral go den building!

Last week Balmoral and Skipton went to Greenham Common with the mission of creating a den! We were very impressed by the dens that the children built but most of all we were proud of how well they all worked together. They showed fantastic team work, cooperation and determination!







Donnington Activity Week


Donnington have just about recovered from last week's Activity Week in time to share with you all about it!


Donnington had a fantastic week full of overcoming personal fears and conquering personal challenges. All the students showed fantastic encouragement towards each other and demonstrated what a caring and mature team they have grown to be.


Here are a selection of photos taken at Mudeford Beach, Paultons Park and Dinton Pastures (where we went wall climbing and canoeing).





Sports Days 2017


Last week we had our annual Sports mornings, for Primary and Secondary departments. Despite the high temperatures for our Primary pupils we saw them showing great determination and sportsmanship. Pupils represented their teams in both track, and a variety of field events offering encouragement and support to one another. We were lucky to have some helpers from Tintagel, Donnington and Dover class to help assist the primary pupils with the activities.

The Secondary pupils were fortunate to have a cooler day and continued to show the same perseverance and motivation as the primary pupils. The morning was rounded off with pupil relays followed by a staff relay which saw the leadership team just take the lead over Tiverton staff.

Collaborative PE


Corfe and Skipton Classes worked together to make letters with their bodies. It was fabulous to see them think about how the letters looked and how they needed to make sure they were lying straight.

Victoria Park Celebration

On Friday last week, our amazing pupils and staff all gathered together at Victoria Park Bandstand to hear music performed by our pupils. It was a wonderful occasion which was enjoyed by all. Here are a selection of photos of the superb event. We hope to have one again so we can invite parents to enjoy the fun.
