At XP, the two different classes for each year group are called ‘Admiral’ and ‘Skipper’. They are named after different types of butterflies, and are also linked to the Outward Bound and Expeditionary Learning values of which the school is based upon.
Before the holiday break, I asked students to come up with their own suggested names accompanied with a brief explanation of how they linked to our school.
The different names can be found here, but we narrowed down the options down to four, and students voted for the names that would stay with XP East for hopefully decades to come. It was a close run thing, but students voted for ‘Explorer’ and ‘Pioneer’.
Students formally in 7X are now ‘7 Explorer’ and those who were in 7P are now in ‘7 Pioneer’.
