E29 has now sorted all lost property! If your child has misplaced any clothing, water bottles, or other belongings, please take a moment to check the images below.
If you recognize anything, kindly ask your child to collect it as soon as possible. Any unclaimed items will be donated to the clothes bank over the holidays.
Thank you for your cooperation!
Please see attached our in-school study offer for over the Easter break.
Morning sessions will run from 10am – 12pm, and afternoon sessions will run from 12:30 – 2:30pm (with the exception of BTEC Sport on 10.04.2025, which will run from 9:30am).
All sessions will take place in XP East’s building, so students should head there to meet staff.
These sessions will really support each subject so if you can attend, please do.
Any questions, please get in touch with myself or your child’s crew leader or subject teacher.

We now have a new dedicated news email so that you can send your stories, updates or ideas about potential news articles directly to us in Comms.
It might be something you or your students have achieved, a charity you’re supporting or anything at all that deserves a wider audience.
Write to us at [email protected] – we want to hear about it, write about it and celebrate it!
Another Thursday Night Live event took place last week as XPD hosted a Jazz night as part of the run up to this year’s Festival of Music and Arts to be held on July 11 2025.
Students from XPD rubbed shoulders with and performed alongside the internationally renowned Doncaster Youth Jazz Swing Orchestra and the Doncaster Youth Jazz Collective in a stunning night of live music. Check out some highlights from the evening here.
In our Year 9 RSHE Crew curriculum, E29 students have been learning about the importance of laws and rules during Wise Wednesdays. They’ve explored why rules exist, who makes them, and how they apply in relationships, communities, and in contexts like drugs and alcohol. Despite covering some sensitive topics, our Crew norms of respect and compassion have been upheld throughout.
Today, the entire cohort came together to discuss online safety—an important and relevant topic for our students. These sessions are vital in equipping them with the knowledge to make safe and informed decisions online. We’re proud of how our students engage with these discussions and continue to build a respectful, supportive community.
We have had an informative day at the Staffordshire Regiment Museum, exploring WW1 memorabilia and experiencing trench life! Students should hopefully have lots of stories and information to return home and share!
We are currently estimated back at school at 3:30pm, slightly earlier than planned.
Students will be dismissed immediately upon our return, therefore we ask parents to make any necessary changes to their plans.
Should there be any concerns, please email Miss Johnson- [email protected]
Many thanks!
Girls football match cancelled tonight.
