Another Thursday Night Live event took place last week as XPD hosted a Jazz night as part of the run up to this year’s Festival of Music and Arts to be held on July 11 2025.

Students from XPD rubbed shoulders with and performed alongside the internationally renowned Doncaster Youth Jazz Swing Orchestra and the Doncaster Youth Jazz Collective in a stunning night of live music. Check out some highlights from the evening here.

Girls football match cancelled tonight.

We are looking forward to our Valencia 2025 Presentation of Learning on Tuesday 25th March at 4:30pm at XPE School.

This will be an opportunity for students to showcase their experiences in Valencia and talk about what they have learned. The students will also perform a short flamenco dance that they learned whilst in Valencia.

We look forward to seeing you there!

¡Olé!

Just a quick reminder that this Tuesday, 18th March is our Y11 TSLCs – an opportunity for parents to meet with teaching staff and listen to students discuss their academic progress and mock exam results.

Students should have booked in appointments with staff members this week – please nudge them to do so if they haven’t already. The evening will run from 3:30-6:30pm.

See you on Tuesday!

On Tuesday we took 30 students to the All England badminton championships in London. It was a fantastic day and students behaviour was exemplary. It was action packed and students had an immersive experience, seeing some brilliant games with lots of action and drama.

Next week will be as follows:

Tuesday – Boys football practice 3.30-4.30 and cheerleading practice

Wednesday – Girls football at home finishes at 5pm. Netball practice 3.30-4.30

Thursday – C28 BTEC learning labs 3.30-.4.30(This is mandatory to attend unless stated otherwise)

EIS Panathlon event (during the school day, only certain students are attending)

Hopefully we have another great week and will keep you updated!
