Instrumental & Vocal Music Lessons
We are proud to be launching our independent music provision (XP.IMS) from September. It is a very exciting time and we are lucky to have secured some inspirational, professional musicians to teach our students.
As a result of these developments their have been some changes to the costings with individual lessons going up in cost but group lessons becoming cheaper.
If a student would like to receive an instrumental or vocal lesson please can they collect a copy of the letter attached below and return the completed reply slip to either the XP Office or to Mr Robins directly.
To start lessons in September students need to return their reply slip by the end of this half term. Any questions please contact the XP Office on 01302 898792 or email Mr Robins ([email protected]).
A huge congratulations to our students Hazel Lyne and Billy Goodwin who, along with Mr Stables and Miss Wadsley, travelled to West Bromwich Albion Football Club to compete in the National Playstation Cup Finals.
Both students represented the school to the highest standard and demonstrated exceptional character traits in their participation in the finals.
Well done to both!!
Well, this is it… Y11’s last term at XP/XPE!
We’ve got some good stuff in the pipeline for their last couple of weeks at school, but first we have a few more weeks of exams to get through.
All exams and revision sessions are included in this week’s weekly planner.
Please note: on Tuesday, there will be an extended maths revision session until 5pm. Food and drink will be provided!
We’d also like to appreciate all those who attended our half-term revision sessions – absolutely brilliant turn-out and focus!
D6 is back on Saturday, too.
As ever, if you have any queries please contact your child’s Crew Leader.

The Second World War may feel like several lifetimes ago to some of us, but there are still thousands of people for whom it was a lived experience, something they will never forget.
Years 3 and 4 in all the Primary Schools across our Trust, have through their recent expedition Lest we Forget: How does war change Lives? examined the lives of local people and national figures – all of whom have stories that deserve to be shared.
Four beautiful books have been created, capturing times both traumatic and remarkable.
From Pat Grainger, who lives in the centre of Doncaster and remembers the Corn Exchange cellars being used as an air raid shelter, or Harry Hewitt who as a child helped the war effort by being a runner – delivering messages between the Home Guards.
The research for these books has been thorough, the original poetry and illustrations adding so much to the work that has become a valuable and treasured resource of stories from a time past, but part of our history and community.
My notes from today’s visit to @XPschool , with thanks to all of our hosts for such a warm and considered xperience, incl @gwynap @JamiePortman @SprakesA -will take some time over the weekend to reflect upon these 👇🏽 & consider the implications #learning #unlearning #compassion pic.twitter.com/9eT4BBZRai
