This week I’ve had some time to pop in to sessions with Crew Peake… and wow, how awesome they are!
Here are just a couple of books from HUMS lessons. Keep up the great work, crew!

Crew Attenborough SLC prep
Great focus in crew today while looking at Snapshots. Crew were excited to look at their academic progress and discuss this with their shoulder partners. Crew wrote meaningful pledges which will help improve their future grades.
I am really impressed with crew this term they have all received some wonderful praise.
Well done

Beautiful Work This Week
Outward Bound 2024: XP Doncaster and XP Gateshead
This year, we were lucky enough to have new Year 7s from both XPD and XPG working closely together at the Ullswater and Howtown Outward Bound centres. As a result, we were able to capture these wonderful highlights of both sets of students building Crew and expressing what it means to be Crew at the end of their week in their first ever presentation of learning.
Beautiful Curation across the XP Trust
More beautiful work has been made public this week – in both Plover and Carcroft School. Look at these awesome selections from final products, now curated for all to see!
XP Trust Crew Away Day @ YWP
Our Heads, Admin, Facilities and Comms Crews came together to further develop positive relationships and build Crew at Yorkshire Wildlife Park. They spent the day exploring Case Studies to improve communication and conceptual understanding around day-to-day crucial aspects of what we do at XP Trust.
The day was extremely positive and productive – thank you to YWP for your hospitality!

Careers Update Autumn 2024
I am Careers Lead at XP & XP East schools and I am arranging an information evening for parents and students at both schools on Wednesday 6th November to enable them to make informed choices for their Post 16 provision. I am inviting providers to attend with a short 1 minute presentation and a stall where students can explore all avenues that are open to them.
For our year 10 students and parents you are invited to attend and it is an opportunity to get an early look at what is available in the local area. For our year 11 students and parents there is an expectation that all students and parents/carers attend the event. Previous years have been informative and give both students and their parents an opportunity to ask questions directly to providers.
Timings are 4.30 – 6pm for KS4 & Parents/carers – Lorax and XP East stairs, tea, coffee and squash will be provided at the event.
Meanwhile please find attached links to Post 16 websites and dates for open events, many applications are open for Post 16 and we expect our year 11s to apply to at least 3 providers where possible.
What’s on the horizon?
Crew KBA have been working hard in sessions and it has been great to drop in and see so many students creating beautiful work and giving brilliant suggestions to discussions. Here are just a few examples that I managed to capture.
I look forward to seeing parents and carers during the SLC’s (student led conferences) 7th October (I have sent a sign up link in an email). This is an opportunity to see how students are settling in and for them to discuss their habits of work and learning.

School Dinners
We’d like all parent/carers opinions on school dinners, including those who’s children have packed lunches. XP Trust would like as many children as we can having delicious healthy meals so your and your child’s opinions are important to us. Children will be asked about their dinners at school but it would be good to have parent/carer opinions too.
