Ethics in Action: X30 Admiral Take the Floor

It was an amazing session in X30 Admiral today, as students tackled the complex world of medical ethics.

The room was buzzing with high-level debate as the group grappled with challenging moral dilemmas and the “grey areas” of modern medicine. The level of critical thinking and some of the arguments were truly fantastic.

It’s clear that X30 Admiral aren’t just learning the facts, they are developing the sharp, analytical minds needed to navigate the big questions of our future.

Lola’s Black Belt Brilliance!

Big news from Crew White — Lola has officially earned her black belt in Taekwondo!

Lola isn’t just a superstar in her martial arts classes — she works incredibly hard in school every single day. Her dedication in school clearly mirrors the discipline it takes to achieve a black belt!

Not only is Lola one of the kindest humans we know, but she’s also someone you definitely don’t want to mess with! Crew White couldn’t be prouder of her. From smashing targets in school to smashing goals in Taekwondo — what an achievement!

Immersion for Crew Nightingale

This week, students in Crew Nightingale have been fully immersed in preparing for their exciting new expedition. In English, they have been exploring Micrography Art – a creative technique where pictures and patterns are formed using tiny words and letters. This inspiring work blends art and writing, challenging students to think differently about how language can be used. Through micrography, text becomes both visual and meaningful, allowing students to express ideas not just through what words say, but how they look too.

Words into Art: E29’s Immersion Week

This week, E29 have been diving deep into the world of legendary author Malorie Blackman. To celebrate her legacy, we took on the intricate challenge of creating micrography portraits, forming her likeness entirely out of tiny, handwritten text using words and phrases that link to the central themes of our anchor text and expedition.

We have been absolutely blown away by the craftsmanship and quality of the work produced. The patience and precision required to turn words into art are immense, and the students have truly outdone themselves. Seeing Malorie Blackman’s face emerge from her own powerful words has been the highlight of our week!

D6 begins for Y11!

Day 6 (D6!) will begin this Saturday for our Y11 students!

The session will run from 9:30am-12pm – it’s an optional/voluntary session, where students are able to access additional support with learning – or just have a relaxed space for focused self study away from potential distractions away from home. Students can come and go as they wish, and do not have to stay for the whole session – they’ll just need to sign in and out.

In the past, D6 has been supported by Student Coaches – ex-students of XP & XPE –  who have returned to provide our current students with peer to peer academic study support. We’re in the process of recruiting coaches to support.

Please encourage Y11s to come along to squeeze in some extra revision time. They’ll see the benefits on results day!
