M & M Productions visited Heatherwood again this week to perform their latest show, The Railway Children.
Everyone enjoyed the show. The theatre group will return to Heatherwood before Christmas to perform a traditional pantomime.
Thirteen of our Post 16 pupils went on a 4 night residential stay to the Lake District at the end of April 2026. The group undertook lots of physical challenges and team-building activities. Everyone acted with determination, maturity, and they all were a credit to Heatherwood.
Thank you to the staff who accompanied our students and made the experience possible.
Heatherwood became seriously competitive on 23rd April during the Dodgeball Championship. Pupils were seen dodging, ducking and diving from balls flying from every direction!
Everyone had lots of fun, but there has to be an ultimate winner.
In the final will be The Arc verses the winner of the second semi final (either Purple Class or The Hive).
Who will be the ultimate victor?
Follow Heatherwood News for the results of what is bound to be a thrilling final.
Welcome back! It was wonderful to see so many of you back at school last week.
We hope you all enjoyed your Easter break.

We said "Goodbye" to Count Duckula and Shell-by on Thursday morning. Usually the ducklings which hatch would be returned to the Incredible Eggs Farm, but on this occasion our ducklings have been adopted by a member of staff from Heatherwood. We are sure the ducklings will enjoy their new home.
We welcomed musicians from Soundplay Projects into school on Wednesday, 25th March 2026. They worked with pupils to create some fascinating electronic sounds and immersive music.
As part of their preparation for adulthood, a group of students from The Key class took part in work experience this week. Thank you to Toby Carvery for allowing our students to experience what it is like to work in their busy establishment.
Thank you to Ambispace for allowing our pupils to access your sensory igloo this week. It has been a really positive experience for the children.
Thank you to our local church group (from the parish of The Resurrection in Doncaster) who visited on Tuesday, 24th April 2026. Our pupils enjoyed the Easter assembly.
Count Duckula and Shell-by returned to school and were visited by pupils who checked on their progress. Unfortunately, three of the eggs have failed to hatch this year, but Count Duckula and Shell-by continue to thrive.
