Reposting the enrichment timetable for this half term. Athletics has now started after school on a Thursday. Any students interested in improving their athletics skills ready for sports day or Doncaster and District athletics please come along. Or even if you just fancy trying something new.

We now have a new dedicated news email so that you can send your stories, updates or ideas about potential news articles directly to us in Comms.
It might be something you or your students have achieved, a charity you’re supporting or anything at all that deserves a wider audience.
Write to us at news@xptrust.org – we want to hear about it, write about it and celebrate it!
The GCSE nature poems will be a key part of our ‘It’s Not Easy Being Green’ expedition. Today 9 Skipper got up close and personal with nature as we started to consider our relationship with nature.
They completed a very mindful Do Now task taking some time to really look at and handle a carnation.
This allowed them to dive into to William Wordsworth’s ‘I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud’ and collaboratively produce some stunning annotations.
This is how we Get Smart ahead of GCSEs. Keep working hard because you will see the rewards!
Proud of you all.

We’re looking for two incredible Learning Coaches to join the team at Green Top School!
This is an opportunity to be part of a school where relationships come first, learning is purposeful, and every child is known, supported, and challenged.
You’ll work side by side with teachers to help deliver beautiful, meaningful learning experiences as part of our expeditionary learning curriculum. From Early Years to Key Stage 2, you’ll support children to grow academically, socially and emotionally – helping them become thoughtful, capable, and kind individuals.

I had the opportunity for the first time in a while to pop into Crew Peake’s HUMS session this morning and saw them in the middle of creating a paragraph to synthesize the reasons for rural to urban migration as part of the work they’re completing around Megacities!
I was blown away by the focus in the room and the quality of the work being produced by Y8. Wow! Fantastic work, Crew!!
What does it really mean to be part of XP? Don’t take it from us – hear it from the students themselves.
If you’re a teacher who believes in creativity, challenge and doing work that matters, this is the role for you. We’re open to applications across a range of subjects – find out more here
