X29 Presentation of Learning
Good Afternoon,
I am writing this blog on the back of teaching year 9 this afternoon and preparing for our POL. I had a high number of students expressing they would not be in attendance on Monday night. I have explained to students that POL is an essential part of our community at XP and attendance is expected (unless absolute emergencies) by every student.
If POL is missed, students are expected to present their learning to an alternative audience of staff and other students in applicable circumstances.
If you anticipate your child will not be attending can you please let crew leaders know. It takes a significant amount of planning for these events and non attendance makes preparation difficult due to lack of investment from students not attending as well as the evening when students don’t attend without notice.
Thanks for your support and understanding!
This week in PE
Another amazing week of extra curricular in PE. Its been filled with some great wins and fantastic goals. Well done to the students who were awarded players of the match what a brilliant achievement.
Netball faced a tough opposition on Wednesday against Hayfield, unfortunately the year 8 team were unsuccessful but we gave them a good game. Well done to the year 7 team who won 2-1 it was a great team effort.

Get Your Groove On for a Great Cause!
Crew Dufton is excited to announce a fantastic event coming up this Thursday, December 12th! We’re hosting a Zumba session to raise money and awareness for the British Heart Foundation, and we’d love for as many students and staff as possible to join us.
We have set an ambitious goal this academic year: we are aiming to raise £500 for the British Heart Foundation. To help achieve this, we’ve set up a JustGiving page where anyone can donate and support this important cause.
To make the session as fun and engaging as possible, we’ve invited a professional Zumba Instructor to lead the way. Whether you’re a seasoned dancer or completely new to Zumba, this is the perfect opportunity to get active, have a laugh, and support an important cause.
The session is open to students and staff alike, with a minimum donation of just £1 to take part. However, we encourage everyone to donate what they feel and help make a difference for heart health.
Let’s come together as a community, work hard, and show kindness by supporting the British Heart Foundation. See you on the dance floor! 🕺💃

Crew Nightingale (Yr 9) engaging with challenges in mathematical problem solving.
After a refreshing long weekend due to staff training days, students returned to their maths classes ready to tackle new learning targets. In one class, students master the art of expressing numbers as powers of ten. Meanwhile, the other class are learning spatial reasoning skills by calculating the volume of square pyramids.
