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.
Our ducklings are becoming firm favourites with pupils and staff at Heatherwood. The second duckling has been named Shell-by (from Beaky Blinders) because of the black patch on his head which resembles a newsboy style cap.
There has still been no movement from the other three eggs in the incubator.
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.
Yellow Class watched as the ducklings were moved from the incubator to their new spacious home. The children smiled and gently reached out to touch the ducklings.
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.
Heatherwood have been awarded a bronze certificate by RDasSH for our Flu Vaccination uptake.
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.
Everyone had fun celebrating World Book Day at Heatherwood on 5th March 2026.
Can you guess which characters our book enthusiasts have come dressed as today?

February is full of opportunities to participate in celebrations at Heatherwood. Pupils took part in a range of sensory activities to experience aspects of the Lunar New, Shrove Tuesday and Valentine's Day. A busy half term ended with fun for everyone at the Valentine's Disco.
The Key spent a fantastic enrichment day at Doncaster Racecourse. Everyone enjoyed cheering on their favourite horses. Thank you to Molly and Team for making the experience possible.
