Dear Year 10 Parents and Carers,

9 January 2025

realsmartadmin admin

We are writing to inform you of a change to the date for the Presentation of Learning (POL) for the Expedition titled “Raiders and Invaders.”

This important event will now take place on 

Date: Monday, 13th January

Location: XP EAST School.

Timings: XPE Students 4pm – 4.45pm / XP Students 5.15pm – 6pm 

Attendance at the Presentation of Learning is compulsory for all students, as it forms a core part of what we do at XP School. If a student is unable to attend on the day, it is our expectation that they will still complete their POL at a later date, which will be delivered in front of an audience.

We kindly ask for your support in ensuring that your child attends this important event, as it is an opportunity for them to showcase their hard work and learning to an audience of their peers, staff, and parents/carers.

Further details regarding the timing and location of the event will be shared with you soon. Thank you for your continued support, and we look forward to seeing you on the day.

Kind regards,
Y10 Teaching Team

Crew White Explores Democracy with Room 101

During Wise Wednesday, Crew White learned about democracy—a system where everyone has a say in decisions. We discussed how democracy ensures fairness and equality and imagined what life might be like without it: decisions could become unfair, and some voices might go unheard.

To bring this idea to life, we held a Room 101 activity. Two Crew members each presented a pet peeve. They made their case, and the rest of the Crew asked questions and debated before casting their votes.

Through this activity, we practiced the principles of democracy: persuasion, equal voice, and majority rule. It was a fun way to learn how fairness and collaboration shape the decisions that affect us all.

What would you send to Room 101?

We are currently working to create a directory of experts for our upcoming Year 9 Passage Presentations and would appreciate your help! 

Passage Presentation is an opportunity for students to reflect on their learning and demonstrate their readiness to move onto the next phase of their education – GCSE.

Students share their high quality work to a panel of experts and their family through an oral presentation, increasing their accountability and character development demonstrating the skills and knowledge they have gained in Key Stage 3. 

As part of the presentation students provide insight into their future goals and aspirations and we would like to ensure an authentic expert for each of them at their presentation – this is where you come in! 

We are seeking support from any members of our community to become an expert panelist at a Passage Presentation, to listen to the presentation, ask questions and support in directing pathways. In order for this to be a success we request help from members of the public who are able to share their own experiences and advice in order to advance our students to the next level of formal schooling.

If you feel this is something you are interested in, please use this link to sign up to the directory. 

Presentations will take place week commencing 27th January 2025 for 3 weeks. You will receive an invite from the student you have been allocated nearer to the time. 

Should you have any further questions, please contact a member of our Key Stage 3 Team: 

Natalie Johnson- [email protected] (KS3 Lead) 

Emma Watson- [email protected] (Phase Lead XPE 8/9)

Chris Morrison- [email protected] (Phase Lead XP 8/9)

We appreciate your support in advance.

E31 FIELDWORK TOMORROW POSTPONED

Author Profile
5 January 2025

realsmartadmin admin

Good evening all,

Happy New Year!

I hope the festive season has been a restful one for you all.

Unfortunately due to the weather, we have made the decision to postpone tomorrow’s fieldwork. We have liaised with the Cemetery who have informed us that pathways are already starting to become icy. The path in which we would need to take includes some inclines and there are concerns that injury may occur if we take the risk.

We will be in touch once we have met as a team as this fieldwork will still go ahead as it is a vital immersion piece in our new expedition.

We apologise for the late notice, we were hopeful it would have cleared up somewhat however the forecast overnight is not in our favour!

We look forward to kicking off our new expedition in other ways tomorrow morning!

Thanks in advance for your support.

A Whole New World

Exploring history through immersive learning! From Vikings at Murton Park to Shakespeare’s magic, C31’s Expedition journeyed through the Roman, Medieval, Early Modern & Industrial eras. With hands-on activities, creative writing, and expert insights, they connected past & present in unforgettable ways.

At their Presentation of Learning they recreated a historical timeline for parents and staff and a variety of drama performances as well as student led teaching sessions to demonstrate our learning. 

Their knowledge culminated in a piece of narrative writing, independently written by students to reflect the life and experiences of a different person in history. The book is available to purchase here.
