Dear Parents and Carers, 

As I am sure you are aware, Macbeth is of significant importance this year to students in Year 8 and in Year 11. In Year 8, Macbeth is a key text for their current expedition and, in Year 11, it is a key text for their upcoming GCSE exams. 

CAST Doncaster are hosting performances of the play on Tuesday 21st February and Wednesday 22nd February at 7:30pm. The benefits of seeing the performance for students in Year 8 and Year 11 would be huge and would have a direct impact upon the students ability to achieve and succeed in school.  

XP have worked closely with CAST in the past and, as such, they have offered us the opportunity to purchase tickets at a discounted price of £10 per ticket. Students under the age of 14 will require an adult to attend the performance with them. 

If you would like to purchase a ticket through school, please complete this Google Form before 3pm on Friday 10th February (tomorrow).  We appreciate this is short notice but we have only just been able to confirm the discounted price and need to inform CAST of the number of tickets required asap. 

The google form will ask you to indicate the date of the performance you want to attend and the number of tickets you would like to purchase. Once responses are collated, we will confirm your ticket allocation and add the cost to your ParentPay account so you can make payment. 

Tickets will be allocated on a first come, first served basis.

This is just a reminder that on the last day of this term, Friday 10th February 2023, the school will be closing for all students at 1:30pm after Crew.

This is so staff are able to prepare for the new term. There will not be any provision for students to stay after this time so all students must leave at 1:30pm.

School reopens on Monday 20th February 2023.

Many thanks as always for your continued support. XP and XP East Office

As you may all be aware from the news, Turkey and Syria have suffered a severe earthquake.

This has affected thousands of people. One of our pioneering Students from XP School has been affected by this earthquake. His extended family of cousins, uncles, aunts and grandparents have been caught up in the disaster and have not yet been located.

We are welcoming donations from our Staff and Families to support this cause. These items will be taken via lorry to Turkey next week and would be greatly received: Nappies, wet wipes, soap, towels, children’s clothing, shoes, coats, gloves, hats and any other items for the children and families who have lost everything.

Your donations can be left in the Main Office at XP and XP East until they are collected next week.

Many thanks in advance. XP and XP East School

For mindful Monday, Crew Ardern decided to get physically active and dust off the weekends cobwebs. It was a lovely session and something which was definitely needed to get us back in the right frame of mind from the weekend. A new sport for most of us, but indoor hockey went down a treat, a fun and engaging activity for all of crew. Lets go smash it this week!
