After popping into Science session 1 today, I was blown away by the Craftmanship and Quality in students’ books.
Crew Kelly have had a fabulous start to the year, being at the top of the X29 attendance leaderboard for every community meeting so far!
Keep it up Crew Kelly – very proud!!
On Thursday Crew Sinfield had a crew breakfast due to their fantastic start to the term.
We started the day with some sweet treats including chocolate brioche and cornflake buns, with some music and a good chat.
Crew have been fantastic with 95 praises so far this term! Special mention to Pixie who is already on 19 praises!!
Crew have been working together well and also showing great maturity and respect to each other when having discussions in crew.
Keep up the good work crew!
What a great week we have had this week in PE. The netball team had there first netball game. Year 8 and 9 team travelled to Hungerhill. Despite their defeat the girls showed great dedication and team work for their first game back.

Friday – Year 11 National cup game @home finishing around 5pm
X32 Crew ABT have been looking at “Identity” on Wise Wednesday and unpicking what makes us who we are and to Respect each and everyone’s individuality.
As a Crew, It was great to see the students talk about their identity and be proud of who they are and that they feel confident to share this information with their Crew family and feel safe in doing so.
C28’s staff spent an hour on a lovely sunny staff day being stewards of our community by doing a litter pick around lakeside. We always say what’s good for our students is good for us so we also cleared the car park area around the gate. To help us keep this area looking beautiful could parents please remind students to keep their rubbish in bags/pockets until they find a bin.
Thank you for your continued effort supporting our school.

Crew chips completed a puzzle on the last day of crew week.
We are all looking forward to year 8 and the challenges it will bring. The crew worked brilliantly together all week.
In their first few weeks back from outward bound, our students have shown just how powerful the experience was. The challenges they faced-climbing, canoeing, supporting each other-helped them form strong bonds. Back at XP we have seen that same spirit carry on. Students are looking out for one another, working as a crew, and living out “Be Crew, Not Passengers” every day. Were so proud how they’ve brought those lessons into schooling can’t wait to see their journey continue.
