Congratulations to all A Level & Level 3 Students!
Yesterday (Thursday) was a huge day for some of our young people who received their A Level and Level 3 results!
If a young person you know got what they were hoping for and have their next steps sorted - we want to wish them every success!
If they're still not sure about their options, we have our 'What's Next?' event on Friday 22 August, 12-4pm at Cast in Doncaster where they can speak to a range of teams about careers and advice around employment, further and higher level study, apprenticeships, starting a business and much more.
Find out more about the event as well as general information on post-18 options in Doncaster below:
Doncaster Marks VJ Day
Today (Friday) Doncaster marked the 80th Anniversary of VJ (Victory over Japan) Day with a ceremony and two minute silence in Sir Nigel Gresley Square.
The ceremony included Pipers playing the Lament as the VJ flag was raised and a two-minute silence at 12noon in honour of the 80th Anniversary of VJ day and the end of the Second World War.
Let's get school-ready with the Doncaster Ready for Reception Challenge!
The Doncaster Ready For Reception Challenge is a fun way to make learning new skills fun for our little ones!
There's lots of skills we need our children to start school with, but we've picked out some key skills as part of our challenge which are really important to master before school begins!
Complete all of the challenges on your challenge cards below, and your little one can have a certificate AND a free book! All you have to do is pop into your local Family Hub to collect your child's certificate and book, or you can print the certificate at home.
