XP School

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 Crew Pankhurst,

As we reach the end of our journey together, my heart is full of pride and gratitude. Watching each of you grow into the remarkable young people you are today has been one of the greatest joys of my career.

Over the years, we have faced challenges, celebrated successes, and created countless memories. Each of you has shown resilience, compassion, courage, and a willingness to support one another. These qualities will serve you well as you embark on the next chapter of your lives.

I have been overwhelmed by the thoughtful gifts, messages, and cards you have shared with me. They are treasured reminders of the bond we have built. Your kind words and gestures have touched me deeply and will be cherished always.

While it is difficult to say goodbye, I am excited for what lies ahead for each of you. You are equipped with the knowledge, skills, and character to make a positive impact in the world. I have no doubt that you will go out and show everyone what you are made of.

To the parents, grandparents and carers of Crew Pankhurst, a huge thank you for all your support and teamwork. Your encouragement and involvement have been key to your children’s success and character growth. It’s been a real privilege to work with you and help guide these amazing young people. 

Thank you for the laughter, the learning, and the unforgettable experiences. I will miss each of you dearly, but I am confident that the future holds incredible opportunities for you all.

Remember, this is not the end, but a new beginning. Take with you the lessons learned and the friendships formed, and continue to strive for excellence in all that you do.

Go forth, Crew Pankhurst, and make your mark on the world. ‘There is more in you than you know’.

And always remember: 

Work Hard 

Get Smart

Be Kind 

For the final time… I’m checked out,

Mrs Hannam x
