GCSE Geography students will be undertaking their required GCSE geography fieldwork on Tuesday 10th September 2024. Students need to arrive at school at 7:45 for a prompt departure and will return to school, traffic depending, by 3:30.  

We will be collecting data on the downstream changes of a river at Edale in the Peak District, this will be assessed in the Paper 3 exam at the end of year 11. 

Students will need the required kit list – if there are any issues with this then please get in touch. Students will need to be prepared for weather changes and being outdoors all day. 

Please complete this consent/medical form to help us to support your child on this fieldwork. The deadline for this is 2nd September 2024.

If you have any questions about the fieldwork, please email me at hwoodward@xpschool.org

Thank you

Here is a video showcasing some moments from the Leeds Rhinos game. The girls loved this experience and got to also meet the players after the match.

This week crew have been litter picking on the school grounds to complete their final product for their current expedition. Crew made sure they worked together to keep our school looking great.

We are so proud of the hard work they have produced over this last year and hope they all have a fantastic summer!!

What an amazing day we had during sports day. It was great to see all students getting involved. Here are some fantastic moments from the day.

Please see attached the overview for each year group for the first week back.

Further details may be shared by each specific year group team; keep an eye on your inboxes!

If you have any concerns, please liaise with your child’s crew leader in the first instance.

The last of the taster days will take place on Tuesday the 16th students will be leaving school at 9am and should arrive back between 3:15 and 3:30pm depending on traffic. All students will be provided with a lunch at the college and will take part in three taster sessions and an enrichment session. The students have chosen the sessions that they would like to attend. XP Is proud to offer students a range of opportunities to help them make informed decisions about their next steps as they prepare to move into year 11.

Huge well done to the year 7 rounders team for their first rounders tournament at XP Doncaster. Unfortunately we lost our 1st game however we reflected and learnt from our mistakes and won our 2nd game. It has been a fantastic year for rounders, well done it all the players involved.

The Netball squad and cheerleading team are taking part in a sponsored 5k run on Monday 15th July. We are raising money to go towards netball dresses and cheerleading uniforms ready for next year. The students would love your support and contributions towards their efforts. If you interested in sponsoring the teams please either speak to the student taking part or email Miss Bowser – abowser@xpschool.org for further details.

Good Luck to all the students taking part. From Team PE.

Last week Year 7 went on fieldwork to Endcliffe Park in Sheffield to test the hypothesis that ‘the width and depth of the river will increase with distance from the source’. As well as ‘the velocity of the river will increase with distance from the source’.

Students worked as geographers and had a great day!

Dear Parents and Families C27,

Next Wednesday, students in Year 10 from both XP and XP East will be holding our third annual climate conference at XP East school. This important event will highlight the ongoing issue of climate change and see our students inform you of the current challenges and what you can do to help.

The climate conference will also serve as the Presentation of Learning for students, so we would love to see you all here at XP East!
