Wise Wednesdays with Crew White: Looking Three Years Ahead
This term, Crew White’s Wise Wednesdays topic is “Where will we be three years from now?” guided by the question: “How can we ensure we’re heading in the right direction?”
We’ve had some really mature conversations about what the next few years might look like, the steps we need to take, and how work experience, college open days, and Mrs Burns, our careers adviser, can support us in finding our paths.
It feels crazy to think three years ahead, but we know how fast time goes — so it’s important to start planting those seeds now.
We also reflected on our childhood dreams and asked: “What did you want to be when you grew up — and is that still the same?” There were lots of classics — hairdresser, firefighter, police officer, vet — but only one student still wants the same job they dreamed of as a child!
It’s exciting to see how our ideas for the future are starting to take shape as we look ahead together as Crew White.
Poetry Superstars in E29 Pioneer! 🌟
In Y10, we’ve been discussing the importance of revising early and so we’ve been building active recall and revision into our lessons to make sure we don’t forget the poems we studied back in Year 9. These students came out top of the class in their recall, showing fantastic knowledge, focus, and enthusiasm for the anthology.
A huge well done to Jude, Arlo, Jolie, Ella, and Edie, who have been absolute poetry superstars this week! I’m so proud of how hard they’re all working, it’s lovely to see their confidence and understanding growing with every lesson.

Success in PE and After school Enrichment – A Fantastic Term!
Last term was an exciting and successful one in PE and after school enrichment programme! We were thrilled to see so many students getting involved, with over 40 students taking part in clubs, practices, and fixtures each week.
From energetic fitness sessions to competitive team sports, our students showed great enthusiasm, teamwork, and school spirit. A special congratulations goes to our Year 7 netball team, who celebrated their first-ever match win – an incredible achievement that reflects their hard work and commitment during training sessions.
We’re so proud of every student who took part, tried something new, or represented the school with pride. Here’s to building on this momentum and making next term even more active, inclusive, and fun!
