XP School

We had some sporting success from two XP East students this week who won the Sheffield Hallamshire womens and girls league cup for U12’s. Amazing achievement from the girls. We love sharing our stories at XP Doncaster and are really proud of the their achievements.

This week we have had our last Year 7 netball game at the Year 7 netball tournament, where the students also got to meet England Roses and Manchester Thunder netball player Natalie Metcalf . The team have shown immense progress this season and the girls are starting to find their positions and working together as a team. Well done to our players of the match. We look forward to next season.

Happy Half term from Team, look out for the new enrichment timetable after half term.

Thanks Team PE

Another Thursday Night Live event took place last week as XPD hosted a Jazz night as part of the run up to this year’s Festival of Music and Arts to be held on July 11 2025.

Students from XPD rubbed shoulders with and performed alongside the internationally renowned Doncaster Youth Jazz Swing Orchestra and the Doncaster Youth Jazz Collective in a stunning night of live music. Check out some highlights from the evening here.
