There’s a real productive “hum” currently emanating from Crew Young’s base classroom right now. This is due to each student pairing up with another to revise for the maths mock exam. Lewis and Summer are talking sines, cosines and tangents, whilst Louie, George, Maclaren and Dominic are describing the difference between mean, median and mode averages. Eleanor is attempting a past paper and Isabel is studying quadratic equations.
Go Crew Young – let’s smash this exam out of the park!
No revision this week for C25
Starts W/C 28th February
Thanks Miss O’Grady
With a new half term comes a new enrichment timetable. This has all the fantastic opportunities our students can access both during school and after school, both academic and sports.
Any questions please contact Mr Stables
Just a little reminder that E27 will be attending fieldwork on Wednesday. We are going to visit the Imperial War Museum North, based in Manchester as part of our current expedition “DO YOUR BIT!”.
We are hoping to leave school at 8am, if your child could arrive for 7:45 at the latest to allow for registers this would be a great help!
Your child will need a packed lunch (free school meals will be provided as per entitlement), as well as a fully charged iPad/device for capturing images that will form part of our final product.
If you have any questions or concerns please contact your child’s crew leader.
Thanks in advance!
Hoping all students enjoyed the half term and now coming back the fixtures will be coming thick and fast.
The Y7 and Y10 boys have a fixture against Laurel Academy on the first Wednesday (23/2/22) back with the Y7’s playing at home and the Y10’s traveling away.
The Y7’s will be available to be picked up from XP at 4:30 and the Y10’s will be back at XP at 5:30
The team sheet will be up on the PE notice board can students please tick their name to confirm attendance
Please bring Trainers and Boots, shorts, socks and shin pads (also layers to keep warm)
Any questions please speak with Mr Stables
Year 11 are Working Hard, Getting Smart and Being Kind in the run up to their final exams. We would like to support them in this by offering Spanish Learning Labs again, each Monday from Monday 28th February, until the Easter break. This time, it is to specifically prepare for the final speaking exams, which will be the week commencing 25th April, from Monday – Thursday of that week. We will focus on the three elements of the speaking exam during this time, the Role Play, Photocard and General Conversation, which will reinforce the revision and preparation going on in sessions. It would be fantastic to see the continued high attendance at these sessions, so please get in touch if any further information is required.
Just a quick notice to let all Y10 students and parents/carers know that History revision sessions will be resuming after the holidays, starting this Monday.
We will be offering two nights of History revision:
This is an excellent opportunity for students to embed their learning, to gain support, to practice exam technique and to push themselves further. It really is important that students are revising outside of lessons and this is perfect space to be able to do this successfully.
Students are welcome to come to both sessions or just one. In these sessions we will be recapping GCSE content and applying this to exam questions as well as giving students time to self study areas which they feel they need further development.
Y10 have made a fantastic start to their History GCSE and are working really hard in sessions. We now need to continue this hard work outside of the classroom, there is an expectation that students should now begin revising in their own time to embed the content already covered and prepare themselves for their GCSE exams.
If you have any questions regarding extended study, please don’t hesitate to email Mrs Elliott ([email protected])
Looking forward to seeing you this week!

WOW! What a term we’ve had… lots of discussions around pledges, delivering SLC’s, getting wiser with internet safety on Wednesdays, we even had time to fit a game of dodgeball with all of E27.
Pledges are an integral part of XP and our Habits of Work and Learning. We push for success and recognise areas for improvement throughout the term. Without pledges we find ourselves wondering how we can be the best version of ourselves.
Crew Rashford have recognised their strengths and understood what they need to do to become more successful in their academic progress. We hold ourselves accountable and ensure we discuss our behaviours and engagement in session weekly with the support from their peers and myself. Additionally, we celebrate our successes and praise one another for our progress.
Here are some pledges Crew have made for next term….
I pledge to work hard and get smart in Human because I don’t put my hand up when I know the answer to the question. I want to get all 3.5 across the board for this subject.
I pledge to get better at Spanish and improve my HoWL’s. I’m going to try to aim for at least a 3.0 in Get smart and Work Hard.
I pledge to Get Smart in Maths. It is currently 3. I would like this to be 3.5. When it’s hard to focus, really try to minimise distractions and to ask more questions.
Crew Rashford have stepped up and shown real maturity and determination to deliver their SLCs to parents. Seeking support and taking responsibility for their presentations.
Here’s a few snaps.
Everyone passed with flying colours – I am super impressed by Crew and their efforts, they amaze me everyday. You should all be proud of yourselves. I will be sending postcards home to celebrate.
With all this hard work, myself and other E27 Crew Leaders organised a huge game of dodgeball for students to participate in. It was a fun packed session, with some amazing skills being used. We split into 4 teams and let me tell you the competition was on!
This term goes to….
⭐️ Sofiya
⭐️ Callum
⭐️ Emma
Absolutely amazing, well done to you all. Keep up the great work. Gifts to be delivered next term!
Have a lovely half term, recharge and come back ready, focused and determined to smash those pledges.
