Cracking work from Crew Tubman this week in English. Mrs Desborough has been really impressed with your efforts this week, with some great work to prove it!
X27 Admiral – Being more Sheila Birling and taking responsibility for their English assessments
This week English sessions for X27 Admiral have been intense. Expectations have been sky high as you completed your first forty mark English Literature GCSE question. This is all fantastic preparation for your mock exams after Easter.
You all worked incredibly hard for the preparation work and the assessment itself. It has really shown how well you know the play which makes me very excited for year 11.
I am really proud of you all.
Mrs Desborough

Beautiful Work This Week
For the love of reading: curation at Green Top!
As part of their Expedition ‘Once Upon a Time’ Green Top have had some beautiful displays created for their reading areas in Nursery and Reception!
Staff Days across the XP Trust
All our staff were getting their heads together and planning for next term’s Expeditions last Friday and Monday – lots of exciting learning and products are on the horizon for students in term 3!
As with all of our Expeditions, students will work within one of our three curriculum seams and staff will do the project first! If it’s good enough for our kids, it’s good enough for us!
Passage Presentations at XP Gateshead
This week, G28 were the first year at XPG to complete their ‘Passage’ – these are presentations to a panel where they reflect on their learning journey, discuss examples of their work, and talk about how they are prepared for next steps in learning and GCSEs.
The quality of the “passage” presentations @xpgateshead as year 9 pupils discuss their learning journey and character growth in front of an invited panel has been outstanding – a real privilege to be part of this process @XPtrust pic.twitter.com/iscK4W8SMS

Crew Ardern – DofE Volunteer Work & A Spot of Fun!
Hey there! Crew Ardern reporting in from their DofE walk round Lakeside, where we’ve been donning our community superhero capes for some litter picking action! But guess what? We couldn’t resist soaking up some good vibes and forging bonds with each other and the locals, especially their adorable pooches!
Check out the snapshots – we got a tad sidetracked by the furry friends around. And hey, we even decided to test our stone-skimming skills! Don’t worry, no animals/birds or humans were anywhere near harm’s way during our playful stone-throwing escapades. 🐾 Let’s keep the good times rolling while keeping Lakeside spick and span!
X28 Crew Darling Working Hard and Producing Beautiful Work!
