XP School Trust runs two academically rigorous 11-16 mainstream secondary schools in Doncaster, UK called XP and XP East. They are situated next to each other to form a campus. Further information about all of the schools within the XP Trust can be found here.

Both XP and XP East Secondary Schools are deliberately sized with 250 students in Key Stages 3 and 4 for each school, with an additional 100 student places at Post 16 available at XP East. Further information about our Post 16 providers can be found here. Each school caters for ages 11-16, with 25 students in each class and two classes per year group. The schools were rolled out over several years, starting with XP’s Year 7 in 2014, achieving full capacity in 2020, and XP East starting Year 7 in 2017, achieving full capacity in 2023.

We welcome applications from all children residing in the postcodes of DN1 to DN12 and S64. It does not matter how close you live to the school. Admissions are determined by a random lottery administered independently by the Local Authority.

Our admissions policy for each school can be found here.
