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 readingWe will be taking students who have returned their letters for Ice hockey on Friday 13th December. Students will need to meet at school at 5.45. We aim to set off at 6pm.

Thank 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

Here’s a selection of beautiful work from across the XP Trust for the last time in 2024! To read about other stories from across the XP Trust, visit xptrust.org.
Exploring history through immersive learning! From Vikings at Murton Park to Shakespeare’s magic, C31’s Expedition journeyed through the Roman, Medieval, Early Modern & Industrial eras. With hands-on activities, creative writing, and expert insights, they connected past & present in unforgettable ways.
At their Presentation of Learning they recreated a historical timeline for parents and staff and a variety of drama performances as well as student led teaching sessions to demonstrate our learning.
Their knowledge culminated in a piece of narrative writing, independently written by students to reflect the life and experiences of a different person in history. The book is available to purchase here.
Crew Windsor and White are making a final plea for students to visit the drama space at XP East and look through the lost property. There are lost of items waiting to be re-united. Anything left in school on Friday will be donated to the clothes bank.
This morning, Crew Spencer and Crew Dufton rolled up their sleeves and took part in a litter-picking session as part of their stewardship responsibilities. The activity not only demonstrated their commitment to caring for their local environment but also contributes towards their Duke of Edinburgh (DofE) Award.
Working together as a team, the students showed great effort and enthusiasm, taking pride in making a visible difference in the area. Stewardship is a core part of our values, and this morning’s activity highlighted the positive impact our Crews can have when they work together for a shared goal.
Well done to everyone involved—this is a fantastic example of leadership, teamwork, and community spirit in action!
Huge well done to all students in Crew Rosa Parkes for their excellent POL. It has been another great term full of lots of praises and fantastic attendance. Keep up the great work, you continue to make crew proud.
Yesterday, Crew White held a bake sale to raise funds for their chosen charity, The Eve Merton Trust. Alongside a delicious selection of baked goods like brownies, cookies, and flapjacks, we also sold hot chocolates topped with cream and marshmallows, which were a big hit!
Thanks to the hard work of Crew members and the generosity of everyone who came along, we raised nearly £200 for the charity.
A big thank you to everyone who baked, bought treats, or enjoyed a hot chocolate. Crew White is proud to support The Eve Merton Trust and its amazing work.
