Just a quick reminder to parents and carers that school will close for students at 1.30pm on Friday 31st March 2023.
This will allow staff to De-Gunge the school and prep for the start of the new term.
There will be no facilities for students to stay after 1.30pm.
(except for Miss O’Grady’s BTEC exam students who will have been informed individually).
We hope you have a wonderful Easter break.
Best wishes. XP and XP East Office

Crew Rowling have once again been busy over the last few weeks. Cerrina, Thomas and Harvey were presented with certificates for their writing achievements during our E26 ‘awesomeness’ community meeting.
Some of our crew members have started up a chess club at lunch, they even attempted to teach me how to play. It is great to see such positivity between students at lunchtime while playing chess. I pledge to attempt to learn how to play chess in the near future so that I can join in!
Some of our crew members also were selected to join a breakfast for students who consistently have really great behaviour. The criteria for these breakfasts will change each term so that everyone has the opportunity to be selected to attend but for this term the students who were selected and attended were Logan, Shawn, Harvey and Cerrina. All of the students who were selected to attend were praised in our community meeting, along with Shawn showing off his hot chocolate skills.
Another great opportunity that I would like to highlight was that two of our crew members attended an event for the premier of the Flying Scotsman documentary. After the event an email was received by Mrs Burns praising the students who attended for their manners and general engagement with the event, so a huge well done to Layton and Cerrina for being asked to attend and for how they conducted themselves.
I have also heard amazing feedback about how much effort crew are putting into their sessions, especially their upcoming English speaking exams. From the snippets I have seen they will do great!
I am also pleased to see that every single member of crew has received praise points in the last few days. There is certainly a positive buzz around students in E26 at the moment and how hard they are working.
Keep it up everyone, you are all amazing!
Mrs Barnes and Miss Johnson 🙂

It is is two days until ‘curtain up’ for our C28 production of Macbeth!
We have been working so hard to create a beautiful performance area, hand crafting stage setting, designing programmes, not to mention the hours of rehearsal times, to present how the characters display power throughout the play.
We will be providing refreshments on the evening, running a raffle and will be asking for donations on the evening. If you have any unwanted gifts, or any items that could be donated to add to the raffle prizes, please drop them off at the school reception and we will gladly add them to our bundle.
If you do have any spare change on the evening, we would sincerely appreciate your support, investing in our school and the opportunity for additional performing arts. in the future.

NCS are relaunching their fantastic end of year 11 opportunity for the first time since Covid and we are excited to have them come speak to our students on Wednesday Morning about this year’s all new model offering 3 different experiences so there is something to suit everyone.
Last week we took delivery of our C28 year 8 Spanish students’ Final Product. This is a compilation of their sketches of iconic sites in Doncaster – produced by some using the grid method they have practised in art sessions – accompanied by a description of their sketch using Spanish adjectives. Lowri was the first to receive her spiral-bound book, to which she replied: “that’s sick!”
