• Survival Day at Gordon Brown

  Tue 24 May 2022

  Wow - what a day! Today was our first full day of activities at Gordon Brown and it was a ‘Survival Day’. We spent the morning walking in the local area and spotting different shelters before we built our own. Unfortunately, they didn’t keep us completely dry from the thunder storm! After lunch, we went foraging for wood and then built our own fires. We used them to cook popcorn! This evening is our Talent Show so we’ve been thinking about our acts all day and we can’t wait until our ‘Gladiator’ training day tomorrow. 

  

• Arrival at Gordon Brown

  Mon 23 May 2022

  We have arrived and are having the most amazing time! After a movie marathon on the coach, we impressed all the adults by making our beds and passing our first room inspections. This afternoon was filled with a tour of the site and meeting all the animals that live here - we are responsible for the pigs and chickens this week! Tomorrow is survival today where we will be building shelters and cooking on fires and we can’t wait to tell you all about it.

• December Update

  Sun 12 Dec 2021 Ms Harrison

  10^th December 2021

   

  Dear Parents/Carers,

   

  I hope that you and your families continue to remain safe and well.

   

  I am sure that you will now be aware of the Government’s move to Plan B of the COVID-19 response.

             

  At present, there are a few measures which will be implemented at Donnington from Monday 13^th December as per guidance issued yesterday.

   

  • If you wish to come onto the school site then please wear a facemask
  • If any children or adults develop COVID-19 symptoms, however mild, we will send them home and request that parents and carers follow public health advice for their children
  • Children who are sent home due to them displaying symptoms of COVID-19 will not be expected back in school until parents and carers can demonstrate that they have followed public health advice which may include a period of self-isolation or taking a confirmatory PCR test
  • Parents travelling abroad should make sure that they fully understand the rules about quarantine and self-isolation upon return.

   

  Next Steps

   

  We will also be asking you as parents and carers to support us by being extra careful and keeping to the following guidance;

   

  • Only one parent should drop off and pick up children - please wear face masks/coverings when doing so
  • Please do not stand in large groups but keep to social distancing guidance
  • Please wear a face mask if you need to visit the school office
