We are really looking forward to seeing you all on the 22nd, and can’t wait to see the results of your hard work, through the most challenging of times. Please remember that – as important as your exam results are – they are just a small part of your XP/XPE journey. We are all super proud of the young people you’ve grown up to be, regardless of what’s in the envelope. 

Check out one of our students’ latest beautiful Expedition products, featuring powerful folk songs created by Year 7 at XP Gateshead, inspired by the rich mining heritage of North-East England. From performing mining-related songs to studying historical events and visiting Beamish Museum, our students have captured the essence of the miners’ stories.

Dive into the history and heart of mining communities with us and listen along in all your favourite places here!

Well done to my amazing crew this year. It has been a pleasure to be part of crew this year. We have had an amazing year and it was ace to finish it on a high winning sports day and getting the most praise in year 7. Well done and I look forward to year 8.
