Sodexo’s generous donation to Plover!
Staff and students at Plover School are incredibly grateful to Sodexo at Doncaster Royal Infirmary for their generous book drive, organised in collaboration with Chapter One. Their dedication to collecting and donating used children’s books has had a significant impact on our school community. This contribution helps ensure our students have access to quality reading materials, fostering a love for literacy that will benefit them for years to come.
A particularly special moment was when we welcomed Nia to our school. Mrs Lewis and Class 2L were thrilled to meet her, as they listened to her read to them a story and ask thoughtful questions afterwards. The warmth and generosity shown by Sodexo and Chapter One have left a lasting impression, reinforcing the importance of collaboration in education. On behalf of Plover School, we extend our heartfelt thanks for their kindness and commitment to making a difference in children’s lives.

This year a team from XP are running the Sheffield Half Marathon on the 23 March to raise funds for our upcoming Music and Arts Festival in July.
The event this year builds on the success of last year’s festival as we hope to expand the scope and range of participation for our students and the wider community.
To make this happen we need your support! If you could make a donation, however big or small, we can place music and the arts right at the heart of our mission to make ourselves, our community and our world a better place!

Thank you for your continuing support.

A Decade of Activism at XP Trust
A small corner of the Frenchgate Shopping Centre is looking extra special at the moment, thanks to the curation of amazing artwork created by students across our Trust! This exciting exhibition umbrellaed under the heading of ‘A Decade of Activism,’ is a snapshot of how the work of our children have been making a difference over the past ten years.

Stories that deserve to be shared
From protecting the planet to spreading kindness, these incredible displays nurtured from the students’ Expedition work show what really matters to young people. Each piece tells a powerful story about standing up for what’s right, helping others, and believing in a brighter future, which tie into our beliefs of community through activism, leadership and equity – sharing our stories as we go.
Whilst, also embracing our three rich curriculum seams Protecting Our Planet’, ‘Standing for Social Justice’ and ‘Cultivating Diversity & Belonging.’
