Our ETA is now 4am due to an accident on M1. Looking forward to getting back to school and seeing you there to pick up the students!
València Update!
As we sit in the airport ready to head to the gate after a fantastic (yet exhausting!) weekend… the update from the coach is that we should be back at XP between 3:30 and 4am – we will keep you all posted.

What a fantastic half term in PE!!
We have a jam packed 6 weeks of sport in PE. After the break we come back and we will have a few changes to the extra curricular programme and a new block of sport for PE, so keep your eyes peeled.
This last week our Year 7 and 8 Netball teams played at home against Hungerhill. The girls played a fantastic game and we cannot wait to play our last remaining few games after half term.

Crew Brunel: Stewards of the XP Community
This week, despite the rainy weather, Crew Brunel showed incredible dedication by coming together for a litter picking session to help maintain the cleanliness of our community space. As stewards of the XP community, it’s important for us to take pride in our environment, and this teamwork was a perfect example of our shared responsibility. We also teamed up to clean and organise our crew space, and with everyone’s small effort, we made a big difference. The transformation showed how much can be accomplished when we work together.




Together, we’re not just cleaning up – we’re building a stronger, more supportive community.
A special shout-out goes to Matilda, who earned the highest praise points this half term with an amazing 36 points! Matilda has shown outstanding HoWLs this half term, and it’s reflected in her receiving the most praise points in our crew. Her dedication and positive attitude continue to inspire us all. Keep it up, Matilda!

I hope everyone has a fantastic February half term, full of relaxation, fun activities, and quality time with family and friends. Whether you’re taking it easy or going on an adventure, enjoy the well-deserved break! Take this time to recharge, and I look forward to seeing everyone back refreshed and ready for the next half term.

A star in the making in Crew Pasteur!
Last weekend, Ellis spent a few days in London, but working really hard! He took part in an original play, ‘Across the line’, with his theatre group, the Pauline Quirk Academy. We are all really proud of him, as he performed this play in the famous His Majesty’s Theatre, where The Phantom of the Opera has played for decades. Well done Ellis, we wish you well on your theatrical pursuits.

Wow!!Basketball Leaders
Our sports leaders supported Legacy Sport over 3 consecutive weeks leading a basketball primary event at XP School. Students were involved as referees, time keepers, score keepers and provided general support throughout the event. It was fantastic to see them step up and lead. The feedback we received was amazing from Legacy sport after the events. “What fantastic role models you have here at XP/XP East.”
Well done to all those leaders. Keep it up.
