Hands-on math in action! 📐 Today in session 3, XP students took their learning outside to label right-angled triangles. They then put Pythagoras’ theorem to the test, successfully calculating missing sides on the triangles they drew.

Excellent work well done!

TICKETS HERE!

We can’t wait to welcome our community to the XP Festival tomorrow! To ensure the day runs smoothly for our entire Crew, here are a few quick logistics:

Weather

Currently (at 7.00am Wednesday 24 June) there is an Amber warning in place by the Met Office and temperatures are expected to reach approximately 30 degrees at some points during the Festival. 

As we are expecting hot weather please make sure that:

• You are appropriately attired – loose fitting lightweight, loose-fitting garments made from natural fibres like cotton or linen, which allow air to circulate and keep your body temperature regulated are recommended. Wear a hat or bring a parasol to keep you out of direct sunlight.
• You bring suncream and regularly apply this as extra protection against sun burn.
• You keep hydrated throughout the Festival – feel free to bring your own water to drink. Food drinks and ice lollies will be available on the Festival site
• You use sheltered areas on site and gazebos to avoid direct sunlight
• If you start to feel the effects of the hot weather, check in with a steward and/or access the First Aid provision on site which is clearly signed and we can ensure you cool down in an air-conditioned space, if required.
• You listen carefully and follow any Health and Safety announcements from the main stage.

Refreshments and Food

Food and drinks will be available from 4pm through Relish. Please note this is an alcohol free event. 

Seating

There is no designated seating. You are welcome to bring your own portable chairs or picnic blankets so you can sit comfortably and enjoy the performances.

Parking

Parking for the festival is completely free if you use Doncaster Rovers Car Park 3. Accessible parking is available – please ask a Steward on arrival. 

Support

This event is free, but we will welcome donations on the day to support future XP Live Events. Your contributions help us continue to provide authentic, creative platforms where our young people can craft beautiful work and share their stories.

See you tomorrow! 

On 3rd July, our Year 8 students will be taking part in an exciting fieldwork visit to We Care Into the Future at the Doncaster Dome – a highly regarded careers event that introduces young people to the huge range of opportunities available within health and social care.

We Care Into the Future has become one of the region’s most successful and well-recognised careers events, welcoming thousands of students from schools across Doncaster and Bassetlaw. The event is widely seen as a benchmark for early careers engagement within the NHS, and we are delighted that our students will have the opportunity to be part of it.

We hope the day will spark new interests, raise aspirations and give students a deeper understanding of the many ways they could make a difference through a career in health and social care.

Students will be leaving school at 1pm, lunch will be earlier as a result (12pm).

Students will return to school from the Dome at 14:45 so will leave school at normal time, there will not be a need to make alternative arrangements.

We are working to have this rectified as soon as possible. Please email with anything urgent in the meantime. We will update here once this is resolved.

Thanks

Mrs Salter
