XP East

On Friday 10 December, XP East will be taking part in Save the Children’s Christmas Jumper Day.

We’re asking pupils to donate £1 (or however much they can give), to support children in the UK and around the world. By taking part we’ll be helping kids who don’t have the basics they need to survive – like food, school or medicine – to start seeing the magic in the world again.  

To make donating easier and safer this year we’ve set up our own Just Giving page. You can donate directly here. (Or you can bring £1 cash in on the day – that’s fine)

We’d really appreciate your support to make Save the Children’s Christmas Jumper Day a success.

Together, we can make the world better with a sweater.

Year 10 will take part in the Presentation of Learning for their current expedition, ‘A Nazi Calls’. Therefore we would like to invite parents and families as they present their work and learning in the form of a poetry slam and art exhibition which revolves around our guiding question; Are we really free to choose?’

Pioneer will perform on Monday 6th December at 17.00-18.00 at XP East School.

Explorer will perform on Tuesday 7th December at XP East School at the slightly later time of 18.00-19.00. This is due to another presentation taking place earlier the same evening.

Student will leave school at the normal time of 15.15 and will need to return to school 15 minutes before the start of their presentation. Refreshments will be available to buy before the performance from Friends of XP.

It’s been such a long time since we’ve been able to welcome families and friends into school for a presentation of learning, so we encourage you all to come along and share the evening in what promises to be a wonderful presentation.

The Y11 BTEC Sport group are progressing well and we are looking forward to moving into the final phase of their course. To help the students achieve the grades they deserve we are running a after school catch up session every Wednesday; starting tonight.

Please see the letter below which will be handed out in lesson today- Mr Stables

Students in C25/Year 10 will be visiting the University of Hull on Tuesday 30th November as part of their current expedition ‘A Nazi Calls’. The primary purpose of the visit is to attend a lecture delivered by on of the University’s academics and will focus on the principles behind the Nazi Ideology and how this relates to the science of genetics. Whilst at the university, students will also be able to meet with student ambassadors and have a tour of the campus to give them a sense of what uni life is like!

We will be departing at around 8.45 and be returning for approximately 14.30 so there will be no change to the start and finish times of the school day for students. Students will need to bring a packed lunch unless they access free school meals, in which case school will provide one for them. Students will need to dress appropriately as they normally do for school.

Best wishes,

Mr Voltaire

Finally E27 are able to show off their great work to their families in a presentation of learning. This is an opportunity for the students to show off their work and learning form their current expedition! Something we are so excited to have back at XPE.

The current expedition has focused on the guiding question “what does it mean to be human?”, alongside showing their work, they will perfroming a speech with their answers to the guiding question!

If your child is in E27 they will be hosting a PoL on Tuesday 7th December, starting at 16:00.

We will post a reminder closer to the event and we hope to see you all there!

As the sports fixtures at XP continue we are proud of our recent performances in the KS3 and KS4 Doncaster school’s badminton league, after a strong turn out for training in the new half term we were excited to test ourselves in competitive matches.

The students were rewarded with a brilliant win in both age groups against De Warenne, a very proud and credible performance by experienced Y10 students and a first taste of victory for our some of new Y7 students.

Well done to all those involved- Mr Stables
