To ensure our wonderful C28 students have a great send off, our awesome parents are organising a formal prom in July.
But… we need your help! To make the evening as memorable as possible, we have a couple of fundraising opportunities.
On December 18th, we’ll be having a Christmas PJ day – long PJs, be as festive as possible – £1 donation towards C28’s prom – along with a breakfast goodies sale during crew.
We’re also currently selling Raffle tickets – some great prizes available (and donations welcomed!) – £1 per strip, run by Y11 crews.
Please see the attached information posters – and if you’re able, get involved!
We’re excited to share that the deadline for submitting Expressions of Interest for the Silver Duke of Edinburgh Award has been extended to Wednesday 17th December.
If your child is hoping to take part in this year’s Silver programme, please make sure the form is completed by the new deadline so we can begin the next steps and secure their place.
We’ve also attached the Information Slides, which include everything you need to know about what the Silver Award involves, expectations for each section, and how to get started.
This is a fantastic opportunity for students to challenge themselves, build new skills and enjoy unique experiences — we’re really looking forward to supporting them on their Silver DofE journey.
If you have any questions, please get in touch.

Crew Pasteur have been busy since we came back from after half term, preparing for mocks, sitting them, and waiting for the results to come out. Mrs Earp and I would like to appreciate Crew for their preparation, in particular their work on History every week in Crew, which has supported them in their sessions and mock exams. It was an exciting morning last Thursday when results were issued, with plenty of success. This is a great experience and grounding for the next set of mocks, keep working hard Crew!
After some wonderful work being presented at Y10’s POL, we wanted to end the evening with a bit of light-hearted Christmas fun.
Well done, X29, for your hard work. We hope this spreads some Christmas cheer – Merry Christmas!
Last week was full of amazing after school fixtures.
Year 7 and 9 netball teams hosted Ridgewood, all students were excellent representatives from XP and XP East. Year 9 produced some amazing netball and won their match, unfortunately year 7 were not as lucky and just missed out. Well done to our sports leaders for supporting umpiring the matches. We had two outstanding players of the match from attack and defence. Well done , keep it up.
On the same night we also hosted the year 7 and 8 girls central venue football tournament. Huge well done to the Year 7/8 football team on winning all 3 of their matches. Absolute superstars.
We are excited to announce that X31 will be presenting their learning on Monday 15th December from 4:00–5:00pm. This special event will celebrate the incredible work students have completed throughout their Being Human learning expedition.
Over the past term, X31 learners have explored what it means to be human, investigating identity, empathy, relationships, challenges, and the shared experiences that connect us all. Guided by their guiding question, “What does it mean to be human?”, students have engaged in deep thinking, thoughtful discussion, and creative expression.
This will be a meaningful and inspiring event, and we would love to see our community there to support and celebrate the hard work of X31.
We look forward to welcoming you on 15th December!
Thanks Year 8 Team

E30 Explorer have been grappling with the comparison of France and China’s population policies in Geography this week! Examining the strengths and weaknesses of arguments, and providing their personal opinion on the ethical and moral aspect of Governments regulating their populations. Super impressed with their grapple and craftsmanship displayed in their work and discussions!
