It really is hard to believe that C24 are coming to the end of their XP/XPE journey. We would like to appreciate them all for their impeccable focus, behaviour and resilience during this exam period – they are making us proud until they very end!
After the final exam on Monday 27th June, we still have 4 precious days together before Y11 officially leave on the 1st of July.
Key dates:
Here are some key dates for the final week, with more details below:
28th June: Optional fieldwork to Malham Cove – Students have signed up to this already.
29th/30th June – Final Word appointments – schedule to be released.
30th June: C24 Celebration Evening 5.30-7.30pm
1st July: Alton Towers
Malham Cove: 28th June
We have arranged to go back to where we first became Crew – Malham Cove – which seems a fitting place to close our crew circle and reflect on what crew has meant to us over the past 5 years. Please read the important information below:
All students need to be at school between 7.30-7.45am, ready for prompt departure at 8am, and we will return at approx. 5pm.
Any medication should be sealed in a bag with student’s name and dosage instructions and handed in to their Crew leader at registration. Please ensure your child takes any travel sickness medication and/or antihistamines (if required) before they get to school.
Here is the mandatory kit list for the day:
- Trousers/knee length shorts suitable for walking – not cotton or denim as these are likely to get wet.
- Comfortable/practical closed toed footwear – walking boots are best if available, but sturdy trainers are fine. No sandals or flip-flops!
- A rucksack big enough to hold the following:
- Pack-up lunch – please note that a lunch will be provided for those students in receipt of free school meals.
- A large water bottle – please send with plenty of water, no fizzy drinks, sports/energy drinks or milkshakes.
- Sunscreen and hat (we’re hoping for nice weather!)
- A small towel.
- Bin liner for wet clothes.
- Spare dry trousers.
- Spare dry top.
- Spare dry socks and footwear – these can be open toed as they will only be for the coach ride home.
Celebration Evening: 30th June
On Thursday 30th June we would like to invite C24 and their families to a Celebration Evening. This will be held in The Lorax area at XP East, and will include our awards ceremony and buffet.
Look out for your formal invite later this week!
Alton Towers: 1st July
As a final hurrah (or should that be hur-aaarrrrgggghhhh!) we have arranged a trip to Alton Towers on the last day.
This is an optional visit and we are asking for a contribution of £8 towards the entry fee. This can be paid in cash to Mrs Parker or Miss Cocliff, or there will be an option to pay on ParentPay next week – we will let you know when that’s live. Students can take a packed lunch or money to buy lunch in Alton Towers.
So, lots to look forward to after the exams!
Mrs Parker and Miss Cocliff x
