Our netball teams had the opportunity to go and watch Leeds Rhions V Nottinham Forrest at the Canon Medical Arena. What an exciting game it was watch. Students were fully engaged in the match and even met some of the players at the end. What a brilliant evening of sport.

Crew White cleared the stairs this morning and laid out the lost property. There wasn’t much left to sort, which is always good news — a large part of it had already been successfully returned to its rightful owners, thanks to initials or names in clothing. Please continue to do this — it really does help.

C29 applications now open for Valencia 2026!

7 May 2025

realsmartadmin admin

We are delighted to begin the application process for places on the Valencia 2026 Languages and Cultural Heritage fieldwork, which is open to all students in C29. This is an exciting opportunity for students to visit Valencia, build their confidence in spoken Spanish (if they study it), and participate in cultural activities. We aim to take around 40 students.

The activities are yet to be finalised based on student numbers, prices, and availability, but they will include a selection of the following: Paella cooking workshop, Flamenco dance workshop, Mestalla stadium tour (home to Valencia FC), visit to the City of Arts and Sciences (science museum and/or aquarium), Bioparc (zoo), exploring the Old Town, Valencia Cathedral, the Torres de Serrano (tower of the old city walls), and the Turia Gardens.

The provisional dates for this fieldwork are Friday 27th February – Monday 2nd March 2026. We are awaiting price quotes from the accommodation and airlines, but the total trip price is estimated to be around £750 per student, which includes hotel accommodation, flights and transfers, all activities, morning and evening meals, travel insurance, and coach hire within Valencia if and when needed. Students would need to bring a bit of spending money for drinks, lunches and any souvenirs they wish to buy.

If students wish to apply for a place, they should complete the application form using their XP Google account/email address (form has been emailed out to C29 students and can also be accessed via this link: Valencia 2026 Student Application Form) by no later than Friday 16th May.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us at [email protected] or [email protected]

We’re looking forward to reading your applications!

#BetterWorldWeek at XP

Author Profile

Geoff Hewitt

At XP Trust, we’re proud to be long-standing partners and friends of EL Education. We take part in Better World Week every year – not as a one-off event, but as an extension of the work we do every day in our schools. Like EL, we believe that learning should be purposeful, rooted in community, and driven by the desire to make a positive impact. It’s a shared mission that sits at the heart of our relationship and everything we do.

In every XP school, students take on meaningful work that matters to real people. From campaigning for local change to producing high-quality expedition products that leave a legacy, our young people learn not just how to succeed – but how to contribute. Better World Week gives us the opportunity to shine a light on that work, celebrate the voices of our students, and stand alongside a global network of educators who are committed to doing things differently…

Beautiful Work This Week

Here’s a selection of beautiful work from across the XP Trust from this week. To read about other stories from across the XP Trust, visit xptrust.org.

Every year, our friends and partners at EL Education invite schools across the world to take part in #BetterWorldWeek – a celebration of student work that makes a meaningful difference in the world.

Just like at EL, at XP this isn’t a one-off event – it’s the work we do every day. But this week gives us a moment to pause, reflect, and share the incredible ways our students have stepped up.

In the last year, they have:

  • Hosted tea parties to tackle loneliness
  • Campaigned for safer streets around their schools
  • Created environmental art with purpose
  • Challenged inequality through powerful public products
  • Brought communities together

…and that’s just the beginning.

You can read all about their beautiful, purposeful work here:
