Chair of Governors’ Letter to Windhill Primary School’s families and friends

Summer Term 2026

On behalf of the Governing Body, thank – you for visiting our school social media. We hope you enjoy finding out about the achievements of our pupils, staff and families here at Windhill.

                  Spring is traditionally time for a “SPRING-CLEAN”!

I wonder if anyone has ever spotted these red sacks by the side of litter bins, here in Mexborough or across Doncaster? Maybe you’ve seen people in hi-viz jackets, with litter-pickers, carrying these red bags?

The red bags are given to people who volunteer to be litter-pickers for Doncaster Council. These people spend some of their spare time, picking up litter on pavements and in parks. Recently, a group of litter-pickers filled 50 bags of litter! The volunteers place filled red bags by the side of bins and the Council come and take them away.

Other voluntary groups in Mexborough include those who support Grassroots sports, including football, working in charity shops, working with scouts and guides, supporting the Bhatia Centre, Foodbanks, being school governors - to name but a few.  

As always, it will be a pleasure to welcome you to Windhill and we would love you to meet our wonderful children, families and staff.

Mrs L Mathers

Chairperson of Governors

Special Letter from the Chair of Governors – Summer  2026

Dear community of Windhill Primary School,

I am writing on behalf of the Governing Body at Windhill to express our deepest condolences to the family and friends of Mackenzie Swift.

It has been heartwarming to see how the communities of Mexborough, and the surrounding area, have come together to support Mackenzie’s family and friends during this devastating time.

I visited the memorial Bridge today and was overwhelmed by the kindness of so many people who want to pay tribute to this very special young man.

To all who are supporting Mackenzie’s family and friends during this this tragic time, thank-you so much. Our thoughts are with you all.
