Beautiful Work This Week

Visitors from Hong Kong!

XPD hosted eight visitors from the Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust – an organisation established in 1884 – that is one of the top ten charities in the world . The visitors are looking at models of education, visiting XPD to see how and why we do what we do. The feedback they left about our team and students was wholly positive. They were ‘touched, impressed and inspired’. We hope to be able to welcome them again soon. 

Bikeability at Plover!

Plover Primary had an exciting and active day, thanks to the South Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority, who awarded the school a cycling workshop with triple Olympic Gold Champion and Active Travel Commissioner, Ed Clancy. This recognition was given for Plover’s dedication to promoting active travel and the high participation of their students in the Mayor’s Walk and Wheel Challenge. The Bikeability Trust, led by CEO Emily Cherry, generously donated balance bikes to the children, further supporting the school’s commitment to encouraging cycling from an early age.

Cycle North also played a key role, delivering ‘learn to ride’ workshops that taught 26 KS2 pupils how to ride a bike for the very first time. Additionally, Judith Shaw from Doncaster Council Road Safety Education kindly donated bike lights to the school. The day concluded with an inspirational whole school assembly led by Ed Clancy, where children were celebrated with Bikeability badges and snap bands for their achievements.

We’ve got vacancies!

LOOL Fieldwork to Danum Gallery

Author Profile
18 October 2024

Corrine Cross

A small group of pupils from year ten enjoyed a guided tour of the new Doncaster Library and Museum building. These pupils are engaging with XP’s rigorous and academically challenging curriculum. Initial ideas for personal research projects include investigations into the social care system, the history of mental health treatment in the UK and the use of music therapy for Alzheimer’s patients. The purpose of this fieldwork was to introduce pupils to the free resources available to help them with their personal research projects. Quiet work spaces, a supportive education team and free wifi make the library building the ideal place for pupils to base themselves to complete their independent study outside of school hours. These pupils are now equipped with library membership, knowledge of how to borrow books and the ability to access online academic journals. These will all be invaluable in helping pupils to Lead Our Own Learning for this ambitious and challenging Project Qualification.

Gothic Reading Challenge: Investigating the Mystery of Dracula

Author Profile
18 October 2024

Jodie Buckley

Throughout October, our students have taken on an exciting Gothic Reading Challenge, immersing themselves in an abridged version of Bram Stoker’s Dracula. This iconic novel tells the chilling story of Jonathan Harker, who travels to the foreboding castle of Count Dracula in Transylvania, only to uncover the terrifying truth about the Count’s supernatural powers and the sinister events that unfold around him.

Using the knowledge gained from their reading, students embarked on an immersive murder mystery this morning, working together to solve the murder of none other than Jonathan Harker himself. Equipped with investigative skills and clues drawn from the text, they examined witness statements and physical evidence to piece together what happened.

I was incredibly impressed by the thoughtful theories they shared, many of which were based on keen observations of the physical evidence left behind. The students’ thorough understanding of the novel shone through in their discussions, proving just how deeply they engaged with the material.

Wishing everyone a very Happy Halloween!

— Happy Halloweeny Half Term, Miss Buckley 🎃
