Our ducks proved to be popular with pupils, staff and guests at our Easter Extravaganza. 

Once again, Heatherwood's Got Talent was filled with an array of top quality acts. Every class in the school was involved and pupils wowed the audience with their powerful performances. 

Thank you to all the parents and carers who came and showed their support for our pupils. 

Well done to the pupils from The Key class who helped to plant sapling trees at our local wood on Wednesday, 18th March 2026. 

The saplings were planted as part of Doncaster Council's Children's Future Forest project which will see 366 trees (one for each day of the leap year) established across sites around the city. The saplings were donated by The Tree Council and Defra's Trees Outside Woodland Fund. 

There are egg-citing times ahead at Heatherwood. On Monday, 16th March five eggs were delivered to Heatherwood and kept warm in an incubator. The providers, Incredible Eggs, advised us that the eggs should hatch by Wednesday. 

However, we had an early arrival on Tuesday morning as one of the eggs hatched. The duckling was named Count Duckula. He can be recognised by his black back, black legs and black beak. By the end of the school day, a second duckling emerged from its shell. This one can be recognised by his dark back, black patch on top of its head, pink legs and pink beak.

Thank you to Irwin Mitchell who kindly donated a selection of books and bookmarks for our pupils to enjoy as part of their World Book Day celebrations.
