Adwick Primary School, nestled in the Woodlands area to the north of Doncaster city centre, is a vibrant, large split-site primary school that deeply values its community connections. We are committed to creating an educational environment where the community is integral to every aspect of school life.

Our mission is clear: we aim for all our pupils to possess both the social and academic skills necessary for successful living in the 21st century, within their local community and beyond. At Adwick Primary, we believe in fostering a culture where our design principles not only define our educational approach but also drive our school improvement initiatives.

These principles are anchored in our strong commitment to character values, which form the foundation of our school’s culture and ethos. We emphasise the importance of pupil and staff, encouraging active participation, leadership, and voice from all members of our school community. Equity is at the core of our approach, aiming to create equality and ensure that every pupil has the opportunity to succeed.

We proudly uphold the philosophy that we are all learners – both pupils and staff. This lifelong learning approach is reflected in our commitment to providing high-quality and purposeful 21st-century learning experiences that are meaningful and impactful.

Underpinning all these elements are our core character values—compassion, integrity, courage, respect, and ambition. These values are critical as they guide both pupils and staff in their daily interactions and personal growth, ensuring that our school not only excels academically but also thrives as a compassionate, respectful, and ambitious community.
