Thank you!
Y11 have had an absolutely fabulous start to their final year and have not even been fazed by being thrown straight into preparing for and presenting their English speaking exams!
Academic Crew and Learning Labs will be running this week – full details in the Weekly Planner above.
We would also like to take this opportunity to invite all Y11 parents and students to our GCSE Revision Evening on Wednesday 11th September, 5pm-6pm. Again, details are in the planner.
As ever, if you have any questions please contact your student’s Crew Leader in the first instance or Y11 Phase Lead for your school: Angella Parker for XP East ([email protected]) and Mel Cocliff for XP ([email protected]).
In today’s Y10 community meeting, we celebrated this term’s Crew achievements and all round awesomeness!
We took some time to check in on some of the student pledges made at the beginning of the term:
We will continue to check in on these throughout next term.
Please see the slides above to see which students were appreciated and celebrated for most improved attendance and most praises. Crew Da Vinci were definitely the stars of the term – testament to the great work Miss Askin is doing as Crew Leader.
Crew Leaders also nominated their Crew Superstar. Congratulations to:
Miss Ibbotson couldn’t choose one person, so we have 4 Crew Superstars for Crew Marx:
Finally, we said farewell to Keegan who is leaving us at the end of term. We’ll be sad to see him go, but are excited for his new chapter. Keegan – you will always be Crew š
We’re looking forward to a jam-packed final term with Y10 (again, please see the slides above for what’s coming up for them!) and I hoping we’ll have much to celebrate at the end of next term as we have this term.
Mrs Parker.
Please see details of Y10’s upcoming fieldwork to the National Holocaust Museum.
It’s always a pleasure to share praises and appreciations in our community meetings, and this morning was no exception. Y10 have had an absolutely amazing start to the school year and we shared lots of praises from staff, as well as hearing appreciations from students to fellow students for being kind, working hard and helping each other in sessions.
We also had a few apologies made for behaviours that don’t reflect our character values and I would like to praise those students for showing the integrity and courage to put things right.
It’s so encouraging to hear that some students are starting to think ahead to Y11 and are already creating revision resources to help them through the next 2 years.
Well done, Y10!

Crew Rashford have been through our lost property, If you see anything that you recognise please go to the XP East Reception and it will be there.
They need collecting before next Friday or they will be going to charity!
Thanks
We are excited to be taking our Y9 students to see a production of Lord of the Flies on Thursday 30th March. Please see the letter below for full details.
If you have any questions, please contact our English Lead, Mrs Desborough – [email protected] – or your child’s Crew Leader.
So it begins, the step into our XP Journeyā¦.Passage.
We have started to prepare for Passage Presentations during Crew. For those parents who may not know the purpose of Passage here is a brief overview.
Passage presentations are an opportunity for students to reflect on their learning and their readiness to move on to the next phase of their education.
It is one mammoth task, but it is very much worth the end goal!
We are committed and I am really impressed with the engagement so far. I am really looking forward to seeing what Crew Rashford produce.
Students may be asked to complete some task at home, but donāt peek!
Look out for an invite to attend your childās Passage around March time.
We have completed the fitness element of our Bronze DofE and now we are well on our way and doing awesome some First Aid training during our sessions.
Additionally, every fortnight we either take part in a school litter pick or lost property maintenance at school.
Students are taking this opportunity to become stewards of our community, making a blog post for students to few all the items and ensure the grounds stay free from litter. It has made a huge difference to the site, super impressive.
Really looking forward to the next part of DofE… what this space for more info!
Iād like to appreciate those students that have improved and maintained their attendance since the start of Y9. You have really stepped up!
We have the opportunity to win an amazing attendance incentive – To Win Ā£50 to spend anyway we wish. Wouldnāt that be Awesome!
Let’s give this term a big push and move back up the league table our current position is No 11.
We can do this – Mighty Crew Rashford!
Mrs Watson 😊
E27 have an upcoming POL scheduled for 13th December at 4:30 – 5:30pm. Hopefully we will see you all there!
This week Crew Rashford set up their account for our new online library myOn.
myON is a student-centred, personalised digital library that gives students access to more than 7,000 digital books. Titles are dynamically matched to each individual studentās interests and reading level. Combined with a suite of close reading tools and embedded supports, myON fosters student engagement and achievement. There is something for everyone!
We searched the vast library and have now selected a book to read during our reading time.
There are soooo many benefits to readingā¦
Please ask your child about their chosen book and perhaps encourage them to read for fun at home too!
