Sincerest apologies- end of term tiredness and jet lag is in full force!

To confirm, it will start at 4pm and end at approximately 5:30pm.
Thanks ever so much for your understanding and support.
We look forward to taking you on an immersive tour of History!

Christmas Jumper Day will take place on the 12th December 2024.

Looking forward to seeing you in your Christmas jumpers.

Building on last week’s XP visit, Year 8 students at XP East have the amazing opportunity to take part in a day of art workshops in Leeds for fieldwork linked to their ‘Being Human’ expedition.
One of the basics of humanity is our ability to create, and the students will be involved in practical workshops from the Leeds Art Gallery and the Henry Moore Institute on Wednesday the 4th December.
This fieldwork will take place during the normal school day so it is important that your child arrives on time for the coach which will leave during crew.
All costs are covered by school, and please make sure your child brings a packed lunch as they will be eating in the gallery spaces. Free school meals will be provided for students who usually have them.
