Good evening all,
Happy New Year!
I hope the festive season has been a restful one for you all.
Unfortunately due to the weather, we have made the decision to postpone tomorrow’s fieldwork. We have liaised with the Cemetery who have informed us that pathways are already starting to become icy. The path in which we would need to take includes some inclines and there are concerns that injury may occur if we take the risk.
We will be in touch once we have met as a team as this fieldwork will still go ahead as it is a vital immersion piece in our new expedition.
We apologise for the late notice, we were hopeful it would have cleared up somewhat however the forecast overnight is not in our favour!
We look forward to kicking off our new expedition in other ways tomorrow morning!
Thanks in advance for your support.
When changes are proposed to admission arrangements, we must consult on our admission arrangements that will apply for admission applications the following school year and at least once every 7 years, even if there have been no changes.
Our consultation will last for 6 weeks and between Friday 20th December and Friday 31 January.
Continue readingThank you to all who attended last night’s Post 16 event, it was lovely to see Year 10 & 11 parents and students there and the feedback from our local schools and colleges was really positive and they are looking forward to welcoming XP and XP East students as year 12s in September. They were really positive about the conversations they had with our young people last night and both our alumni students’ character and dedication to learning that students have and are showing as they progress through their next steps.
I’ve attached a copy of the presentation from last night which has links to all the post 16 providers. The expectation for year 11 students is that they apply for more than one college/6th form/apprenticeship with a recommendation of at least 3 different places. Students don’t need to commit to chosing one specific place and do not need to make any final decisions until results day in August.
Here is also the different minimum expected grades that are needed for each level of course, the school/colleges website will have their own guidance. Some schools and colleges also use grade averages so all GCSEs count towards their entry requirements.
As always any questions please email me at [email protected]
Thankyou for supporting your student and the school in this

Fortunately, the weather is on our side this week, meaning fieldwork to Hyde Park Cemetery for E31 is back on!
We will be leaving school and heading to the cemetery by foot after Crew. We will return to school in time for lunch, so students will leave at normal time.
Please can you ensure that your child arrives to school wearing appropriate footwear and wearing a coat. We will be outside for the entirety of our visit and it is important students stay warm!
This fieldwork is in support of our Expedition 7.2 Dig Deep.
We appreciate your support in working with us through the many changes we have faced due to adverse weather.

We are writing to inform you of a change to the date for the Presentation of Learning (POL) for the Expedition titled “Raiders and Invaders.”
This important event will now take place on
Date: Monday, 13th January
Location: XP EAST School.
Timings: XPE Students 4pm – 4.45pm / XP Students 5.15pm – 6pm
Attendance at the Presentation of Learning is compulsory for all students, as it forms a core part of what we do at XP School. If a student is unable to attend on the day, it is our expectation that they will still complete their POL at a later date, which will be delivered in front of an audience.
We kindly ask for your support in ensuring that your child attends this important event, as it is an opportunity for them to showcase their hard work and learning to an audience of their peers, staff, and parents/carers.
Further details regarding the timing and location of the event will be shared with you soon. Thank you for your continued support, and we look forward to seeing you on the day.
Kind regards,
Y10 Teaching Team
Crew White Explores Democracy with Room 101
During Wise Wednesday, Crew White learned about democracy—a system where everyone has a say in decisions. We discussed how democracy ensures fairness and equality and imagined what life might be like without it: decisions could become unfair, and some voices might go unheard.
To bring this idea to life, we held a Room 101 activity. Two Crew members each presented a pet peeve. They made their case, and the rest of the Crew asked questions and debated before casting their votes.
Through this activity, we practiced the principles of democracy: persuasion, equal voice, and majority rule. It was a fun way to learn how fairness and collaboration shape the decisions that affect us all.
What would you send to Room 101?
All extra curricular starts this week.
Tuesday- Girls football and Badminton (KS3)
Wednesday- Netball
Thursday- Cheerleading
All practice are from 3.30-4.30.
Thanks Team PE
