XP School

This morning in crew we exchanged secret Santa presents. It was great to see crew had thought about the presents they had bought for each other and we had a fantastic morning all together. We also completed a Christmas Kahoot which was really close but right at the end Izzy and Kiera won!!

I have been so proud of crew this term. They have worked really well together and shown each other great compassion and worked hard throughout the term. They have received 196 praises between them, which is amazing. A special well done to Pixie who has received 38 praises- Well done Pixie!!!

I hope you all have a fantastic Christmas and New Year and looking forward to the next term- I’m sure it will be the best one yet!

Good Afternoon,

I am writing this blog on the back of teaching year 9 this afternoon and preparing for our POL. I had a high number of students expressing they would not be in attendance on Monday night. I have explained to students that POL is an essential part of our community at XP and attendance is expected (unless absolute emergencies) by every student.

If POL is missed, students are expected to present their learning to an alternative audience of staff and other students in applicable circumstances.

If you anticipate your child will not be attending can you please let crew leaders know. It takes a significant amount of planning for these events and non attendance makes preparation difficult due to lack of investment from students not attending as well as the evening when students don’t attend without notice.

Thanks for your support and understanding!
