We’re kicking off our final year together with a trip out into the beautiful surroundings of Langsett Reservoir on Monday!

Our fieldwork will take place within normal school hours, so students should arrive at school as usual for 8.30am, and we expect to be back at school in time for the normal 3.15pm finish.

In the unlikely event that we experience any delays on the way back – for example, due to traffic – we will keep you updated via the school website.

What to wear and bring 🥾

As we’ll be walking around the reservoir, please make sure students come dressed in suitable clothing for the weather.

Walking boots are ideal, but trainers are absolutely fine if walking boots aren’t available. Please note that footwear must be appropriate for walking on uneven and rocky ground – strictly no Crocs or slip-on shoes.

Students will also need:

• A packed lunch
• A drink
• Suitable clothing for the weather

We’re really looking forward to starting our final year together with a mindful walk, some fresh air and the chance to have a good catch-up after the summer. It will also give us the opportunity to start thinking about our guiding question for the first week back:

How can I use the rest of my time at XP to become the best version of myself?

A pretty big question to start our final year with! We’re looking forward to seeing where our reflections, conversations and learning take us.

Any questions, please email kfowler@xpschool.org.

Here’s to the start of our final year together, C29! ❤️
