Crew Blessed, Great Ambassadors

Amazing Crew members!

Several of our Crew represented the school and our Crew brilliantly last week as part of new staff interviews as well as keeping up the good work in sessions.

Alana, Zach, Oscar and Kolby were all involved in the interview day from being on the student panel to showing the candidates around school. Miss Cocliff was really impressed by the way they conducted themselves and passed on a praise postcard to each of them. Oscar has also shown Miss Cocliff that he is also achieving great things in sessions too.

Great work Crew!

Fantastic feedback from their Phase Lead!

Crew Blessed at the halfway point!

As we head into February half term it marks the halfway point in this academic year. This also means Year 11 seems just around the corner. It has been a great first half of Year 10 with academic success and developments in character from everyone. Crew are really starting to look and sound like young adults now.

We want to congratulate Kolby on his recent success in getting selected for the Yorkshire Rugby Union Team. He has worked so hard not just in the recent trials but over the last couple of years. His commitment and attitude towards his goals and ambition is really inspiring to others. He is a great example of how effort and passion for something you love can get you where you want to be. We are very proud of him, not just our Crew but everyone at XP School. We look forward to hearing about the next stage of his rugby story and of course seeing some winning results for Yorkshire.

Kolby – Crew Blessed’s rugby star!

Crew would also like to welcome a new member to our ‘Blessed’ team. Johnathon joined us this week and has settled in really well and really quickly. We hope he enjoys being part of our Crew and being part of XP School.

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 Blessed powering towards the end of this half term!

It’s been another productive and hard working week from Crew Blessed.

Several students used Crew time effectively to do some Science revision and support each other. Zach was offering out his wise words as Alana and Luke absorbed as much information as they could.

The praises from other sessions have been rolling in too this week with these being given just yesterday.

This is great work Crew, lets keep it going right up to half term – 1 more week! Well done!

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?’.

Crew Blessed Superstars!

It’s a pleasure to get feedback from teachers of our Crew recently, with so many of them doing so well. We had 3 students named in the top 5 praise list this week – Ebony, Oscar and Cejay!

Liam was also our student of the week for his amazing consistency everyday.

It was also good to pop into their class today and see some productive reading going on from Alana, Ben and Oscar.

Crew Blessed up and running!

Members of Crew Blessed have made a fantastic start academically this term as well as showing great character traits.

This morning in Crew other students were celebrating how Luke had been supporting Year 7’s at lunchtimes and making sure they were involved in lunchtime activities. Well done Luke for showing great kindness – a fantastic role model!

Alana and Ben were given great feedback in HUMAN last week. The positivity just keeps flowing.

Well done everyone in Crew for making such a positive start to Year 10 – lets keep it up!

Working hard to succeed…

LOOL Citizenship student Nida shared this fantastic set of revision notes she has been working hard on over the weekend! Nida has been collecting information on the UK’s role in global organisations, ready for her next Citizenship lesson. What an amazing role model Nida is to fellow Year 10 students for working hard!
Keep up the hard work Nida!
