Building on last week’s XP visit, Year 8 students at XP East have the amazing opportunity to take part in a day of art workshops in Leeds for fieldwork linked to their ‘Being Human’ expedition. 

One of the basics of humanity is our ability to create, and the students will be involved in practical workshops from the Leeds Art Gallery and the Henry Moore Institute on Wednesday the 4th December.

This fieldwork will take place during the normal school day so it is important that your child arrives on time for the coach which will leave during crew.

All costs are covered by school, and please make sure your child brings a packed lunch as they will be eating in the gallery spaces. Free school meals will be provided for students who usually have them.

Crew White

Crew White Welcomes Experts from The Eve Merton Trust

This week, Crew White had the privilege of hosting representatives from The Eve Merton Trust, a charity dedicated to supporting families affected by cancer. Their visit gave us valuable insights into the incredible work they do, and we are so grateful for the time they spent with us.

The trust’s mission to provide support to families in our community who are navigating one of the toughest challenges in life deeply resonated with all of us. Through their heartfelt stories and examples of the difference their work makes, they inspired us to reflect on how we, as a Crew, can play a part in their mission.

During their visit, Crew White showed compassion and respect, listening attentively and asking thoughtful questions about how we can get involved. Whether it’s through fundraising, volunteering, or raising awareness about their efforts, we’re excited about exploring ways to help The Eve Merton Trust continue their impactful work.
