PE reminder

Just a few reminders from PE

  • Make sure students have a water bottle as the weather is getting hotter this week.
  • Bring suncream to school.
  • Parents/ guardians please email or write a note if students are excused from PE and students still need to bring full PE kit if excused so they can take part as a coach/ referee.
  • All students in Year 7 and 8 should be wearing their PE t shirt for PE.

Any questions please email [email protected], [email protected] and [email protected]

Year 8 rounders

Huge well done to the year 8 rounders team who ended their season at the tournament last night. It was fantastic to be able to take 2 teams to a tournament. The weather conditions let us down a little with the wind but the students kept on trying. Keep up all the great work at enrichment and see you all next year.

E28 Shine at Bradford Literature Festival

E28 had an incredible time at Bradford Literature Festival, diving into the world of performance poetry. Our workshop focused on using rhythm and storytelling to express ourselves, and we did just that!

From powerful spoken word to playful rhymes, everyone found their voice and the confidence to share it. It was a day full of energy, creativity, and connection. Maybe one day there might be a Doncaster or XP Literature Festival? Huge thanks to BLF for reminding us that poetry doesn’t just live on the page, it lives in us.

C29 Presentation of Learning

You are invited to our XP Climate Conference in which years 9 and 10 are collectively addressing the climate emergency!

The event will take place across both sites and is scheduled for 4:15 – 5:15 on Tuesday 15th July.

We look forward to seeing you all there!

REMINDER- SPORTS DAY

Just a quick reminder for sports day tomorrow. Students will need to come in full PE kit. Students will need a packed lunch, water bottle and suncream. If they would like to buy an ice cream there will be an ice cream van available so please bring cash or card.
