X25 Citizenship Mock Feedback

Year 11 citizenship students received their grades back today and completed a self-reflection on how they prepared for their Mocks.

Students have taken this reflection home to discuss with parents/guardians.

There is space for it to be signed by parents/guardians and return in session time tomorrow.

Well done to year 11 for their hard work around their mocks!

X25 Get To Work!

X25 completed their work experience last week and it has been great to have a check in to see what they have all been doing. I think some members of year 11 really got an insight into the type of job they might want to go into within the next few years and also the working life. It was fantastic to hear such great feedback from their work experience employers who commented on how hard students were working, how they would offer them a job and how punctual they were to start the day!

X25 are now back on it- focussed ready for their Mock exams that are due to start in a couple of weeks.

Great work year 11 – keep it up!

C25 Mock Exams

We’re looking forward to welcoming Y11 back from their work experience week and will be cracking straight on with our mock exam preparation!

Y11 will sit mock exams from 29th November until 14th December, as detailed in the timetable above.

Revision sessions will continue to run during lunchtime and after school and attendance at these is very much encouraged. We will also run a D6 session on Saturday 3rd December for those students who would like to get together in study groups, or just need a quiet space to revise.

As we move closer to final exams, we will be inviting our C25 parents/carers to a GCSE information evening in the next year – an email will be sent out with details soon.

Crew Kahlo putting the hours in at home

I wanted to show some pieces of work that Olivia, Jessy and Nida have been working on at home.

All three girls have really impressed me with their work ethic and are showing how they ‘Get Smart’.

Crew Kahlo starting Year 10

Crew Kahlo has made a great start to their fourth year at XP (How time flies).

Our crew week was a bit different this year which consisted of:

  • A crew day to check in with each other and set expectations for the year ahead
  • A day of team-building activities to help us communicate and work better together (which we won!)
  • A coastal walk at the lovely Flamborough to have a chance to walk and chat in the lovely fresh air
  • A crew presentation to answer the guiding question ‘How can we get everyone to the top of their mountain?’.

C26 (Y10) appreciations and praises

We had an amazing Y10 awesomeness meeting this week, with lots of applause to celebrate the praises and appreciations from staff! It was also wonderful to hear lots of students appreciating fellow students and staff during this community meeting.

Big shoutout to Crew Obama (XP East) who are leading the way with the Top 5 praises… what a Crew! Meanwhile, over at XP, I wonder if anyone will come close to Hazel’s magnificent tally of 21 praises before the end of term?
