This is just a reminder that on the last day of this term, Friday 24th May 2024, the school will be closing for all students at 1:30pm.
This is so staff are able to prepare for the new term. There will not be any provision for students to stay after this time so all students must leave at 1:30pm.
School reopens on Monday 3rd June 2024.
Many thanks as always for your continued support and have a lovely break.

We are pleased to announce our Parent Drop-In evening. This event provides an excellent opportunity for you to ask questions and seek guidance on your child’s next steps as they transition into Key Stage 4 and begin their Leading Our Own Learning (LooL).
The Parent Drop-In will be held on Thursday, 6th June, from 4:30pm to 6:30pm. During this time, you will have the chance to meet with subject teachers and gain valuable insights into what to expect for LooL. We encourage you to take advantage of this drop in event, to ensure you and your child are well-prepared for the exciting journey ahead.
We look forward to seeing you there and supporting your child’s educational development.
If you are unable to attend, information can be shared by crew leaders, please contact them for this info.
Thank you
This morning, Miss Taylor kindly organised a ‘noodle adventure’ during crew… and wow, were our horizons broadened; with different flavours and noodle types!
Following a conversation in crew around pot noodles being the best things ever, Miss Taylor decided to do an ‘around the world’ noodle tour! Students enjoyed a range of noodles… but stay away from the Jollof Chicken ones if your spice tolerance is low, eh Morgan?!
Thank you to Miss Taylor for organising this morning’s crew session; it was lovely to sit and enjoy some noodles together! And thanks for inviting me along, too, crew!

As the weather is starting to get warmer and the sun is shining we advise that students bring suncream to school for PE. Students will also need to make sure they have a water bottle filled up.
Thanks

Last week, Crew Pasteur took part in their 7 mile walk from Wadworth to XP – in a temperature of 24 degrees! Needless to say, there were a few sun – reddened faces by the end of the day, but Crew demonstrated excellent map reading skills, and above all, compassion for each other by checking in regularly, sharing sun cream and a joke or two. You will be AMAZING on the qualifying experience at the end of June, Crew!
Crew Barnes helped the XP community by litter picking around the school and futsal court outside. Despite the hot weather, we persevered working as a crew to keep our environment clean, taking it in turns to collect rubbish. This goes towards our DofE Bronze Award, bettering our chance of achieving it.

I was excited to join my Crew last week for their practice walk (from a distance) for their Bronze DofE award. Crew Darling displayed great teamwork, support and compassion for one another on a hot, humid and challenging day. They even tried their hand at some sheep herding! Take a look at the fantastic day that was had, especially impressed with their cooking skills!
Another hectic week of extra curricular. Our cricket teams were in action this week, being involved in a festival at Doncaster town and home fixtures against Hayfield and Campsmount. The uptake in cricket has been fantastic. Students showed real character and were phenomenal both on and off the pitch.
Next week will be as follows:
Monday – Athletics practice
Tuesday – Cricket and cheerleading
Wednesday – Y7/8 Cricket fixture and rounders practice
