As our exam season approaches at XP Doncaster, we are looking for people interested in working as invigilators during this important time. At XP, we believe in ‘beautiful work’ – work that shows craftsmanship and integrity – and exams are a crucial part of this. Our students have worked hard over many years to reach this point, and we are seeking calm, supportive adults who can help create the conditions for them to demonstrate their very best. If you would like to play a part in this moment for our young people, we would love to hear from you via our expression of interest form.
Crew MNO fantastic end to term 2!!
As we come to the end of the second term, I wanted to take a moment to celebrate what has truly been an outstanding term for Crew MNO.
It has been a term filled with growth, positivity, and amazing achievements, and I could not be prouder of every single person.
Every member of our crew has consistently demonstrated our XP character traits throughout the term. Whether showing respect to others, working with compassion, demonstrating courage in their learning, or striving for excellence in all they do, the students have embodied these values in a way that has made our classroom a supportive and inspiring environment.
Every single member of crew has shown strong organisation, resilience when facing challenges, and a real commitment to improving their work. Their focus in lessons, willingness to contribute, and determination to do their best have all played a huge role in their success this term.
It has been a pleasure to watch everyones confidence grow and to see them develop not only academically, but also as thoughtful, responsible, and motivated young people.
Throughout the term we have had many laughs and enjoyed every minute, even when times have been hard.
I am so proud of how we have come together as a crew, and I can’t wait to see how we develop next term!
I hope everyone has a restful Easter break !!!

Survey on Alzheimer’s Care
Please see the following message from one of our pupils and consider lending them your support in their studies:
“I am currently researching the impact of Alzheimer’s disease on families. I would really appreciate it if you would consider completing my questionnaire if you have known someone with this illness. Thank you.”
X30 Corner Football Thursday!



This morning X30 spend crew time in the sports hall playing corner football.
Everyone showed great teamwork working together and there was lots of positive energy around the sports hall.
It was a brilliant way to start the day, especially after they completed their POL last night.
Well done everyone!
X30 Crew Leaders.
