XPD Careers: Additional opportunity for parents and carers: Understanding T Levels

Eleanor Wilkinson

As part of National T Levels Week 2026, Amazing Apprenticeships is hosting a dedicated webinar for parents and carers to help explain what T Levels are, how they differ from other post-16 options, and where they can lead.

The session will include David Scott, T Levels Lead at the Department for Education, alongside a parent sharing their own experience of supporting a young person through the T Level route.

T Levels Week Parent and Carer Webinar: Understanding T Levels
Tuesday 20 October 2026
6:30pm–7:15pm

Parents and carers can register here:

Even if you cannot attend live, we would still encourage you to register, as all registrants will receive access to the webinar recording and slides afterwards.

This is a useful opportunity for families to find out more about one of the technical education routes available after Year 11 and to support conversations at home about future options.

Year 11 First Day Back – Crew walk

Andrew Jackson

Just a reminder that on our first day back (Tuesday 26 August), Year 11 students will be completing a hike around Langsett Reservoir. An information letter, kit list, and consent form has been sent to parents separately by email.

XP students should be at school by 8:15 on Tuesday 26 August for an 8:30 a.m. departure. Students will return to school by 2:30.

XPE students should be at school for the normal time, with a departure of 9:00 a.m. and returning to school by 3:00 p.m.

It looks as though rain may be possible so please ensure that your children are appropriately dressed for the weather. All students will need a packed lunch.

The C28 Team

C25 Last chance to collect GCSE artwork

Claira Salter

We are currently holding GCSE Art coursework from students who left us in the Summer term of 2023. As part of our preparations for the new academic year we’ll be disposing of this work if it’s unwanted. If you would like to take your sketchbooks and final pieces from the coursework or exam projects then please get in touch with us before the end of next week, Friday June 28th.

You can contact school or anyone in the Arts team and we’ll set your work to one side. You can come to collect it at anytime, please just let us know beforehand so we can get it into the office for you to collect.
