XP East

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!

Please can you have look at lost property this week at XP East. It will be located in XP East reception area. This will be cleared on Friday so please collect before then.

Netball practice is cancelled this week. Practice will be back on 12th November.

To celebrate the last week of term, Crew Anning was joined by Crew Lewis for a fun and creative morning of pumpkin carving and a delicious crew breakfast!

The activity gave everyone a chance to show off their artistic skills, enjoy some teamwork, and share a few laughs along the way. It was also a brilliant opportunity to pause and reflect on the first half of Year 9 — thinking about how far we’ve come, what we’ve achieved so far, and how we can continue to grow and support one another in the next half term.

Well done to everyone for their effort, enthusiasm, and teamwork. A great way to end the term on a high note!

We hope you are all having a lovely half term and can’t wait to hear all about it on our return!

See you soon – Miss Askin and Miss Barton

As the first half- term of Year 9 draws to a close, we wanted to take a moment to express just how incredibly proud we are of every single student in Crew Peake. This term has been defined by their exceptional efforts, remarkable progress, and a real demonstration of our HoWLs and character traits.

Their commitment shown to school this term has been nothing short of amazing!  We’ve seen great dedication in lessons, with students tackling challenging topics head-on and showing genuine academic resilience and growth – parents have received a number of emails from staff such as Miss Buckley, talking about their efforts in Humanities! This dedication is reflected beautifully in the huge amount of positive praise points awarded to our lovely kids this term, recognising everything from outstanding classwork to daily acts of kindness.

Crew members continue to shine, not just within our crew room, but across the entire school community. It has been fantastic hearing so many members of Crew Peake receiving shout outs in our community meetings for setting an example and making a positive difference.

We wish you all a restful and enjoyable break, and look forward to welcoming crew  back next term, ready for even more success!

Miss Cocliff & Mr Morrison x
