A fab term for Crew Rashford in many ways.
Let’s start with Praise: Crew have racked up an awesome 82 praises on the dashboard.
Those students at the top of the block and smashing their HoWL’s are:
⭐️ 1st place is: Holly with 15
⭐️ 2nd place is: Tayla with 12
⭐️ 3rd place is: Callum with 11
Amazing to see that they are working hard, getting smart and being kind, a lovely testament to their growth and character, keep up the good work!
100% attendance for the following students – THIS IS AWSOME! Every day matters! Well done you 3!
⭐️ Holly
⭐️ Isabelle
⭐️ Sofiya
Crew have been working hard on Passage – some are grappling with the content but we still have a few weeks left, so get stuck in and shout for support if you need it guys!
We asked Y10 students to pop along to crew to support some areas of passage. This is a great opportunity for Crew to speak to, to gain knowledge and understanding of what needs to be done. How it went for them and learning from the experience Y10 had previously.
We are well on our way with DofE and we have some exciting things coming up – this will be communicated asap.
Students have been working towards their Bronze award and are currently developing their first aid skills.
Quiz them on some scenarios, so far we have covered:
This is all to support them in life but also to support them with their expedition section of the award. ⛺️
Just a mini stand: We have noticed a decline in equipment for some students – not all so thank you to those who have all their equipment.
Just a reminder please ensure that students are fully equipped for learning, which is part of our HoWL’s. Additionally, they must have a device and this should be charged ready to go! The number of times I have leant my charger to Crew (their phones are always charged tho – funny that 🤣).
We will be heading into a new case study for our expedition ‘You Give me Fever’.
Parent: look out for a letter for up and coming fieldworks for next term. Some amazing opportunities for greater learning.
Hope you all have a wonderful half term – see you all soon

Hello everyone, long time no see. Tonight in Crew Rowling, we won Inter-Crew, have had SLCs and Harvey (with critique from crew!!) writes a blog post.
So, Crew Rowling has finally won a sport! And the sport I hear you ask? Corner Hockey. Crew were determined to finally win something, and through team work, we finally came out on top. 2nd place, Crew Obama ended with 35 points while we ended with 7 points more, a whopping 42 points! Our star players were Layton and Shawn, who were clinical in their shots.
So with the exciting news out of the way, we now move onto our Student-Led Conferences. Every single member of our crew has completed our Conferences, and what can I say except they were a success. Unlike our Passages previously, this was a more casual environment where we discussed our work. Well Done to Crew Rowling, we’re all proud of you!!
In other news, our crew has been enjoying the content taught to us currently. In History, our crew are engrossed in the Rise of the Nazis while in English we are enthusiastically reading ‘An Inspector Calls’. Shawn seems to enjoy playing Eric Birling while Harvey seems to be a great Mr Birling.
So, that’s a summary of our term. Eventful, enjoyable, and the ever-looming challenge of GCSEs. Something to look forward to is the upcoming week off, so enjoy the time to relax! Let’s hope to come back even stronger than ever!

Dear Parents and Carers,
As I am sure you are aware, Macbeth is of significant importance this year to students in Year 8 and in Year 11. In Year 8, Macbeth is a key text for their current expedition and, in Year 11, it is a key text for their upcoming GCSE exams.
CAST Doncaster are hosting performances of the play on Tuesday 21st February and Wednesday 22nd February at 7:30pm. The benefits of seeing the performance for students in Year 8 and Year 11 would be huge and would have a direct impact upon the students ability to achieve and succeed in school.
XP have worked closely with CAST in the past and, as such, they have offered us the opportunity to purchase tickets at a discounted price of £10 per ticket. Students under the age of 14 will require an adult to attend the performance with them.
If you would like to purchase a ticket through school, please complete this Google Form before 3pm on Friday 10th February (tomorrow). We appreciate this is short notice but we have only just been able to confirm the discounted price and need to inform CAST of the number of tickets required asap.
The google form will ask you to indicate the date of the performance you want to attend and the number of tickets you would like to purchase. Once responses are collated, we will confirm your ticket allocation and add the cost to your ParentPay account so you can make payment.
Tickets will be allocated on a first come, first served basis.

This is just a reminder that on the last day of this term, Friday 10th February 2023, the school will be closing for all students at 1:30pm after Crew.
This is so staff are able to prepare for the new term. There will not be any provision for students to stay after this time so all students must leave at 1:30pm.
School reopens on Monday 20th February 2023.
Many thanks as always for your continued support. XP and XP East Office
As you may all be aware from the news, Turkey and Syria have suffered a severe earthquake.
This has affected thousands of people. One of our pioneering Students from XP School has been affected by this earthquake. His extended family of cousins, uncles, aunts and grandparents have been caught up in the disaster and have not yet been located.
We are welcoming donations from our Staff and Families to support this cause. These items will be taken via lorry to Turkey next week and would be greatly received: Nappies, wet wipes, soap, towels, children’s clothing, shoes, coats, gloves, hats and any other items for the children and families who have lost everything.
Your donations can be left in the Main Office at XP and XP East until they are collected next week.
Many thanks in advance. XP and XP East School
