Common Mission Dance Fieldwork
There has been a last minute opportunity for our Common Mission Dance students. On Thursday 10th March, staff are taking Common Mission Dance students to watch ‘Jekyll and Hyde’ performed by the National Theatre at McAuley’s Lower School.
Students will be leaving school at 2pm via staff cars (business insured). The performance and Q&A will finish around 4:30pm. Parents/carers are welcome to collect their child from the venue, if this saves you travelling time. For those students who aren’t being collected, staff will take them back to school for around 4:45pm (traffic allowing). If you are collecting your child from the venue, please let me know via my email [email protected].
There has been a content warning sent out regarding the performance. There will be adult content in the production so please speak to your child about appropriate behaviour in the theatre. Photos will also be taken of the students during the show, if you do not give permission please let me know and I will ensure they are not in them.
If you have any questions or concerns regarding this fieldwork, please feel free to contact me.

Crew Rashford – Spanish HoWLs
Crew Rashford have been working hard on recognising areas of improvement in Spanish this week.
They took the opportunity to evaluate their own HoWLs from the last session, critique and feedback to others respectfully and with kindness.
Here is a snapshot of their last session.
From this we would like to see improvement for next week and where we are doing really well maintaining that level of engagement and learning.
They also have the opportunity to make pledges to support their learning. We will be discussing this further and holding each other accountable to them.
Our class average is ok and I feel that there is definitely room for improvement for most of crew. As ever, I am always here to support anyone should they need it as is Mr Pearson.

Y6 transitioning into Y7 (C29) August 2022
We are delighted to have received our admissions lists for August 2022. As we begin to work through this, we will contact parents of students who have been successful and work with current schools to ensure we have lots of information to enable the students transition to XP to be as successful as possible.
We look forwards to working with you over the coming months.

E28 Fieldwork – Friday 4th March 2022
On Friday 4th March E28 staff are taking E28 students to Sherwood Pines in Nottinghamshire on Fieldwork to go to their World War one trench.
Students will be leaving school at 9am and will be returning before the end of school at 3.15 (traffic allowing).
Students will need to bring a packed lunch, a drink, two bin liners (to sit on in the trench) and their pencil case.
Students will need to wear warm clothes (lots of layers) as we will be spending a lot of time outside. It is also wise for them not to wear their best trainers as we will be walking on paths and in bits of woodland.
If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me on [email protected]
Cheerleading
The cheerleading competition on Wednesday 2nd March will be completed earlier. We will be back at school for 4.15. We will get the students to contact you when we set off from the school.
Any questions please email [email protected]
