Please could you ensure that any dinner money sent into school is in a named envelope.
This helps us to be able to allocate the meals to the students correctly. Your help in this would be much appreciated.
Thank you.

Year 7 will need PE kit for Friday only to acces the session run by Doncaster Rovers. For this session, students must bring; T-shirt, shorts, football socks, shin pads and football boots/astro turf shoes. Students who do not bring correct kit will be unable to access sessions for safety reasons. Students in Year 7 will begin formal PE sessions with Mr Voltaire next week during X Block. Look out for a further post before the weekend explaining which day your child needs to bring kit.
Year 8 students will all need to bring kit, everyday that they are in school (i.e. when they are not on the coal mining visit).
Students will be taking part in physical activities linked to their first STEM expedition so will require kit for class work as well as normal PE sessions.
8 Skipper must bring kit: Tuesday, Thursday, Friday.
8 Admiral must bring kit: Wednesday, Thursday, Friday
Year 8 should bring T-shirt, shorts, socks and sports shoes everyday. Additionally, they will need to bring football boots, shin pads and football socks for Fridays’s session with Doncaster Rovers.
Many thanks

At XP, we support our students to use their own technology for learning at XP. As always, we have very high expectations of respect and integrity. We also ensure our students understand how to keep safe when using technology.
The boys football team have a friendly match tomorrow (Thursday 11th June). The match against McAuley School will kick off at 16.15. If your child is participating in the game, they should be ready to pick up from school at 18.00.
The match is a home game, and will take place on the large astroturf pitches at Keepmoat, and support from parents and other students is welcome.
If there are any questions or concerns, please contact Mr Voltaire.
Many thanks
Expedition 4 Skipper Fieldwork
Just a reminder that Admiral will be out of school on Fieldwork tomorrow (we will leave school at approximately 10.15am) at Sheffield Hallam University and afterwards watching a west end production of To Kill a Mockingbird at the Lyceum Theatre. We will have lunch in the Winter Gardens so students will need a packed lunch. The weather is forecast to be cold so warm clothing and sensible footwear is recommended and as we are visiting a theatre students must be dressed smartly (no jogging bottoms, football tops etc.)
Students will need to bring their University ID cards so that we can access University buildings without delay.
As mentioned in previous posts we are hoping to be back between 5.30 and 5.45. If there are significant delays we will allow students to contact you to update you with our arrival time at XP.
We are looking forward to an amazing day!
Thank you for your continuing support of our mission.
P.S. Remember Skipper it’s your turn on Thursday!!!
Student photos will be on sale from Monday 26th January.
We have decided to sell the electronic copies to parents so they are able to print off as many copies as they like. We will therefore need either a current email address or USB stick to get the photos to you.
If you would like to view the photos before deciding whether to buy them, please come in to school and Miss Blair will be able to let you preview them.
Payment will be required in advance. Please see prices below.
Friends of XP
Calling all interested parents, staff and grand parents of XP students!
We are hosting our Annual General Meeting (AGM) of Friends of XP on the 4 December with tea and coffee served from 6pm with a 6.15pm start. The venue for the AGM will be the Board Room at XP school in the Keepmoat Stadium and the meeting will close no later than 7.30pm.
The group is being set up to help the school to raise funds to support our learning expeditions, products and Outward Bound visits. At the meeting we will elect a Chair and a treasurer. Any help will be invaluable and gratefully received.
We look forward to meeting you in December.
