I have been to visit Crew Marx in session today, it is great to see them learning without me stood at the front! They have had some Spanish and Citizenship this afternoon!
Kiahna completing some work on climate change and the importance of how we treat our planet during citizenship. I also visited the other half in Spanish learning about what they can spend their pocket money on and the importance of the language.
Keep up the great work guys!
Please see below pictures of XP East lost property.

Crew Malala had a brilliant term 2A. Here are the best bits:
We are looking forward to what Term 2B might bring!
Just a reminder, as per the letter sent home on 09/02/23, E27 are going on fieldwork Wednesday. This will start and end within school hours so does not affect drop off and pick up time. Please ensure your child brings a packed lunch unless they are entitled to FSM, in which case one will be provided. Any questions please email [email protected].
Thanks all
The Y7 and 8 boys football teams played against Danum on Wednesday evening. The 7’s at home and 8’s away.
It was the 7’s first game as a team with very little training. They put up a good fight after going 1-0 down early on. XP responded with a goal moments later with the score at 1-1. It stayed that way until the last few minutes when Danum scored from 2 free kicks to make it 3-1. It was a great effort from the boys and I’m sure there will be more to come in the upcoming fixtures.
The Y8’s started brightly away from home. Seeing a lot of the ball early and creating numerous openings with no reward. XP’s defence were solid and not letting Danum create openings on the counter attack. Danum were frustrating XP with the goalkeeper pulling off a string of fine saves.
Into the second half and XP continued to have a lot of the ball and create numerous chances. 10 minutes into the second, the ball was played down the right, crossed in and volleyed in at the back post. A composed finished from Ethan. XP managed to see out the rest of the second half without much trouble. Final result Danum 0-1 XP.
Well done to all teams!
Our C28 cohort have been working incredibly hard on our Macbeth content including analysis and drama techniques!
The first week back after half term on Tuesday after school we will be hosting auditions for our central characters such as Macbeth, Lady Macbeth and the Weird Sisters. Any students who have put themselves for a lead role will be asked over half term to memorise a number of lines from one of their favourite scenes, in order to perform a portrayal of their chosen character.
The cast will be finalised in the first week after half term.
In the second week back, we will be offering drop-in drama sessions to help with characterisation, line delivery and confidence building.
Further information will be posted on google classroom and parents and guardians will be emailed in due course.
Have a wonderful rest and let’s come back re-energised ready to smash the rest of our expedition!

A fab term for Crew Rashford in many ways.
Let’s start with Praise: Crew have racked up an awesome 82 praises on the dashboard.
Those students at the top of the block and smashing their HoWL’s are:
⭐️ 1st place is: Holly with 15
⭐️ 2nd place is: Tayla with 12
⭐️ 3rd place is: Callum with 11
Amazing to see that they are working hard, getting smart and being kind, a lovely testament to their growth and character, keep up the good work!
100% attendance for the following students – THIS IS AWSOME! Every day matters! Well done you 3!
⭐️ Holly
⭐️ Isabelle
⭐️ Sofiya
Crew have been working hard on Passage – some are grappling with the content but we still have a few weeks left, so get stuck in and shout for support if you need it guys!
We asked Y10 students to pop along to crew to support some areas of passage. This is a great opportunity for Crew to speak to, to gain knowledge and understanding of what needs to be done. How it went for them and learning from the experience Y10 had previously.
We are well on our way with DofE and we have some exciting things coming up – this will be communicated asap.
Students have been working towards their Bronze award and are currently developing their first aid skills.
Quiz them on some scenarios, so far we have covered:
This is all to support them in life but also to support them with their expedition section of the award. ⛺️
Just a mini stand: We have noticed a decline in equipment for some students – not all so thank you to those who have all their equipment.
Just a reminder please ensure that students are fully equipped for learning, which is part of our HoWL’s. Additionally, they must have a device and this should be charged ready to go! The number of times I have leant my charger to Crew (their phones are always charged tho – funny that 🤣).
We will be heading into a new case study for our expedition ‘You Give me Fever’.
Parent: look out for a letter for up and coming fieldworks for next term. Some amazing opportunities for greater learning.
Hope you all have a wonderful half term – see you all soon

Hello everyone, long time no see. Tonight in Crew Rowling, we won Inter-Crew, have had SLCs and Harvey (with critique from crew!!) writes a blog post.
So, Crew Rowling has finally won a sport! And the sport I hear you ask? Corner Hockey. Crew were determined to finally win something, and through team work, we finally came out on top. 2nd place, Crew Obama ended with 35 points while we ended with 7 points more, a whopping 42 points! Our star players were Layton and Shawn, who were clinical in their shots.
So with the exciting news out of the way, we now move onto our Student-Led Conferences. Every single member of our crew has completed our Conferences, and what can I say except they were a success. Unlike our Passages previously, this was a more casual environment where we discussed our work. Well Done to Crew Rowling, we’re all proud of you!!
In other news, our crew has been enjoying the content taught to us currently. In History, our crew are engrossed in the Rise of the Nazis while in English we are enthusiastically reading ‘An Inspector Calls’. Shawn seems to enjoy playing Eric Birling while Harvey seems to be a great Mr Birling.
So, that’s a summary of our term. Eventful, enjoyable, and the ever-looming challenge of GCSEs. Something to look forward to is the upcoming week off, so enjoy the time to relax! Let’s hope to come back even stronger than ever!
