Highlights include over 87% of our students achieved 9-4 in English Language and English Literature, with 22% of our students achieving the EBACC at 9-4. We continue to see the impact of our expeditionary learning curriculum on combined higher outcomes with 24% of our students achiveing a 9-6 in English language, English literature, Maths, Combined Science and History across the disciplines. We also celebrate some very strong results in some of the chosen subjects with particular praise to those students who achieved strong grades in BTEC Sport, GCSE Geography, Psychology and Japanese.
We must remember that X26 was significantly affected by numerous year group closures during the pandemic, and it is within this context that their achievements should be particularly celebrated.
However, as we continuously say at XP, academic achievement is only one measure of success.
Through our cross-subject expeditionary curriculum, students have enjoyed an engaging, creative and rich learning experience. This has allowed our students to engage with the world and create beautiful work that really matters and that has made a difference.
Through our learning expeditions our students not only gain the knowledge to pass exams, not just the cultural capital of knowing the world around them, but also the powerful knowledge to positively change the world they will adopt when they leave school – those of you who attended the Climate Conference can testify to this!
Our work for students at XP is three dimensional – academic success, developing character, and allowing them all to respectfully express who they are through their beautiful work:
Academic success + character growth + beautiful work = The best version of you!
We remind our students throughout their journey with us that, as adults, we are judged by who we are and the quality of our work. This is why we focus relentlessly on character growth and beautiful work as well as qualifications at XP Trust schools. Qualifications will get you through the door. Who you are and the quality of your work will get you the job, the place at university, the start up business loan.
Therefore, we continue to be proud of our staff, students, parents and the wider community that has supported our students to be the best version of themselves. We have achieved all this because of our differences.
We welcome all of our former students to join our XP Alumni to keep in touch with our schools and each other, sharing your experiences beyond our school.
