Donnington: Forward together for future success
Dear Parents and Carers,
We have reached the end of a very challenging year. Some things have remained the same whilst others have changed. School has been disrupted in lots of ways but our children have made us proud in the way that they have adapted and made progress in their learning. We of course intend to build on this when we return to school in September.
I would like to take the opportunity to thank you for your continuing support in making Donnington a special place for children and staff and wish you an enjoyable summer holiday.
Ms Harrison

Activity Clubs
We have arranged for Young Sporters & Leisure Ltd. to run three clubs from September. There will be multi-sports for KS1 children and basketball and football for KS2. All administration including pricing will be set by Young Sporters. Mr Ali will be sending out a separate letter giving further details.

- Parent access to the school site remains restricted until the end of term
- Self-isolation rules still apply for school age children and will come to an end on 16th August 2021.
