E29’s Wise Wednesdays: Exploring Laws and Rules

19th March 2025Web Blogger

In our Year 9 RSHE Crew curriculum, E29 students have been learning about the importance of laws and rules during Wise Wednesdays. They’ve explored why rules exist, who makes them, and how they apply in relationships, communities, and in contexts like drugs and alcohol. Despite covering some sensitive topics, our Crew norms of respect and compassion have been upheld throughout.

Today, the entire cohort came together to discuss online safety—an important and relevant topic for our students. These sessions are vital in equipping them with the knowledge to make safe and informed decisions online. We’re proud of how our students engage with these discussions and continue to build a respectful, supportive community.

E31 Fieldwork Update

19th March 2025Web Blogger

We have had an informative day at the Staffordshire Regiment Museum, exploring WW1 memorabilia and experiencing trench life! Students should hopefully have lots of stories and information to return home and share!

We are currently estimated back at school at 3:30pm, slightly earlier than planned.

Students will be dismissed immediately upon our return, therefore we ask parents to make any necessary changes to their plans.

Should there be any concerns, please email Miss Johnson- [email protected]

Many thanks!

We are looking forward to our Valencia 2025 Presentation of Learning on Tuesday 25th March at 4:30pm at XPE School.

This will be an opportunity for students to showcase their experiences in Valencia and talk about what they have learned. The students will also perform a short flamenco dance that they learned whilst in Valencia.

We look forward to seeing you there!

E31 Fieldwork: Wednesday 19th March

10th March 2025Web Blogger

We are excited to announce that our upcoming fieldwork to the Staffordshire Regiment Museum is just around the corner! To ensure that all students are well-prepared for the day, please take note of the following important details.

Students should arrive at school promptly at 7:45 AM. This will give us time to organise the group and prepare for our departure. The group will leave school by 8:15 AM to travel to the Staffordshire Regiment Museum. Please ensure that your child arrives on time so we can adhere to the set schedule.

All students are required to bring a packed lunch for the day. For students eligible for Free School Meals (FSM), lunch will be provided. Parents should ensure that their child has a drink for the day. There are no cafe facilities on-site at the museum, so if a student forgets their drink or lunch, it cannot be replaced. The drink for the day should be water, as per our school policy, which prohibits fizzy drinks.

As the museum visit involves a bit of walking, we recommend that students wear comfortable shoes to ensure they can participate in all activities without discomfort.

A warm coat is also essential for the day, as the majority of the visit will be spent outside. The weather can be unpredictable, and we want to ensure that all students stay warm and comfortable.

Students will leave the museum at approximately 2:30 PM, and we expect to return to school by 4:00 PM, traffic permitting. Please be mindful that traffic conditions may cause slight delays, but we will keep parents/carers updated.

In Summary:

  • Arrival at school: 7:45 AM
  • Departure for museum: 8:15 AM
  • Packed lunch required (unless FSM, where lunch is provided)
  • Drink required (parents to ensure their child brings one)
  • Comfortable shoes and a warm coat are advised
  • Return to school: Approximately 4:00 PM

We look forward to a fantastic day exploring the history of the Staffordshire Regiment and experiencing everything the museum has to offer. If you have any further questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to contact us.

Thanks, 

Year 7 Expedition Team
