In 2023, XP had over 1000 visitors from all over the world – including India, Australia, America, Israel, Norway and Spain, just to name a few! As we continue to welcome more visitors, here’s what they’ve said about our students…
This week we held our second Friends of Norton Campus Association Summer Fair. We were joined by members of our local community to raise funds for our schools. There were bouncy castles, penalty shoot outs, welly wanging and face painting.
Askern Community Brass Band provided the music – and there were plenty of sweet treats and snacks to enjoy too. Children were spending their pocket money on the hit the teacher coconut shy and sponge the teacher! Not forgetting we were joined by our special VIP’s Lenny and Alan (the alpacas!) We’re already looking forward to next year.
We’re looking for:
Learning Coaches at Carcroft School
An EYFS/KS1 Specialist SEND Teacher at Carcroft School
A Leading Learning Coach (HLTA) at Plover School
A Learning Coach/Crew Leader at XP Gateshead
Year 9 Sports Leaders @ XP School
Huge well done to our sports leaders who supported the KS2 athletics event today. The students were fantastic role models leading events and supporting the staff. It is fantastic to see leaders of the future promoting physical activity.
Well done Year 9
Year 7’s current expedition ‘Hold Back the River’ has the guiding question, ‘How does water shape our world?’
During this expedition, our geography content is focusing on river characteristics from source to mouth, river processes, formation of landforms as well as the cause, impacts and responses of flooding. As part of this, we are applying the theory of river processes and characteristics to the field.
On Tuesday 2nd (East) and Thursday 4th (XP) of July, students will visit Endcliffe park in Sheffield. They will work together to collect data regarding the width, depth, velocity and load of rivers. We will also be capturing the beauty of a river by completing artwork. This data collection will allow us to accept or reject our hypothesis once we have analysed our data in our maths lessons.
Students will need to arrive at school no later than 8.00am so that the register and kit check can be completed before leaving school.
It is also essential that all students bring all of the kit on the KIT LIST so that they are fully prepared for the fieldwork; this includes a packed lunch and water to drink. Students who receive free school meals will be provided with a lunch.
Students will need to ensure they have suitable walking boots/trainers as well as wellies or a pair of trainers they can get wet – we’ll be going in the river to collect the data! If there are any problems in getting the appropriate kit before this, please email your child’s Crew Leader.
Students will be returning to school by the end of the school day (traffic dependent).
Below are photos of this week’s lost property. If you see anything that belongs to you, please claim it at the office. Anything that’s left will be donated at the end of the week.

As the weather is getting hotter can you remind students to bring sun cream and water bottles please.
Kind regards
Taster session am is 9.15 – 11.30, pm is 12.30 – 2pm
Taster day letters will be given out to students in Crew on Tuesday 25th June. Students cannot change their allocated taster option as we have staffed appropriate tasters according to numbers attending and group sizes have been set. This is not to say we cannot alter anything. We may be able to make slight adjustments to consider new starters, sickness etc.
We have booked transport to pick up approximately 08:30 or soon after registration. Students will be back at school by the end of the school day.
