Silver DofE Update

Emma Watson

Good morning from slightly warmer and sunny Silkstone.

Slower start this morning, some tired feet and extra tired faces today.

Day 3 is upon us, they have all shown true grit and determination and as they embark on the last leg they will no doubt dig that bit more to get through.

We will keep you posted on our arrival time home

Photo is the last leg before they arrived at the campsite!

Silver DofE- All aboard

New year, new name

Wilmot Mathew

Crew MWI are now Crew Pratchett

C32 are back from the summer break and ready to smash year eight!

Whilst coming together during crew week and then heading straight into immersion for expedition 8.1 which included fieldwork to Danes Dyke, Crew MWI also had another task. Cementing our Crew name. While they had all enjoyed being Crew MWI during year 7 it was time to reflect on the values of our crew, our school and our community to decide on who would be our crew patron.

After much deliberation, reflection and pondering a decision was reached unanimously. So without further ado, Crew MWI are now named

Crew Pratchett!

Click on the link to see the presentation which we put together in crew to show our reasoning behind why Sir Terrance David John Pratchett became our patron.

Y11 GCSE Information Evening

Melissa Cocliff

As our wonderful C29’s progress through their final year in school, there are a number of ways you can support their learning from home.

As such, we would like to invite all Y11 parents and students to our Y11 GCSE Information Evening at XP East on Thursday, 17th September from 4:30-5:30pm. 

This evening will focus on providing information about exam layout/content, alongside information and guidance around the revision/work required for each exam and component. This was a really useful evening last year, to ensure parents know how to best support our wonderful Y11s throughout their GCSEs. Subject leads and some teachers will also be around if you have any questions. 

We look forward to seeing you here!

Best wishes,

Y11 Team

Phenomenal Character Traits Shown in 8 Explorer’s English

Catherine Desborough

WOW! What an incredible session 8 Explorer had this afternoon. They were fully engaged in their English lesson with Mr Wilmot.

Their focus and enthusiasm was clear as they gave fantastic answers to Mr Wilmot’s questions about the book. I saw numerous students consult their anchor text to double check their answers and show courage when they gave their responses.

Additionally, their books show the highest levels of quality and craftsmanship. There was not a single book that I was not thrilled with. It shows this class are productive and engaged in sessions.

I cannot wait to see more of your books and hear your theories about your anchor text!
