C28 English
There has been some beautiful work produced across C28 in English sessions as part of the Being Human expedition. Students have begun to explore our new anchor text ’We Rise, We Resist, We Raise Our Voices’. There were some excellent examples of quality and craftsmanship alongside some mature and insightful ideas predicting what the book may include.
We are all very excited to get reading!
Our E28 / Year 8 students recently followed the GoGoMo (Give One, Get One, Move On) protocol to help build and test their understanding of regular Spanish verbs. As can be seen in the photos below, it involves plenty of action and student interaction, and I wish to praise their very high levels of engagement in this session.
Our E27 / Y9 GCSE Spanish students have got off to a flying start this year. I would like to appreciate their high levels of engagement and productivity in focused pair work as they practise how to express opinions of TV shows in their foreign language sessions.
C29 have had a brilliant day delving into the wonders of number at @bletchleypark. We’re due to arrive back to school at 5:20pm. Students can be collected from Car Park 3 when we arrive.

Here at XP we are always looking for our students to achieve and strive for amazing things and we are lucky to have some very successful student athletes, no other than C28’s Sophia Hunter of Crew Boseman.
Sophia is a golfer who spends most of her free time practicing and playing in tournaments around south Yorkshire and she has been competing all summer. Recently, at the Peter Cowen Gold Academy Awards night, Sophia picked up 6 trophies which means Sophia is the current leader for the over 12’s tour.
The Crew and whole school are incredibly proud of Sophia and look forward to hearing of more success in the future.
Mr Stables and Team PE
Year 11 have been thrown straight back into it in history – we’ve started our new history unit ‘The People’s Health’ that is a thematic study focusing on how factors such as beliefs, technology, government, wealth and poverty impacted public health from 1250-present day. I’ve been so impressed with Pioneer – particularly in our lessons this week as they have been so focused and motivated to do well. It seems like everyone has their eye on the end of the year and there is definitely an atmosphere of determination and motivation to do well – I’m pleased that they are taking everything in their stride whether it is the mountain of content and knowledge they need to learn or practising their exam technique each lesson, it is all attacked with hard work and a maturity that seems to have developed over the summer.
It’s been wonderful to watch your personalities and academic skills grow over the years since our first lessons in year 7 and I’m sure all this hard work will pay off – and yes Charlie, I may still have my Miss Battle-Axe moments, you’ll thank me for them later!

I am absolutely thrilled with the attitude that Crew have got now they’re in year 11 – everyone is 100% focused on the end goal and working really hard in sessions to achieve the best they can! It’s been great to know that many of crew are attending after school revision sessions and I’m hearing really positive things about their conduct from teachers. Keep this momentum going – I’m so pleased with you all and you deserve to do well after all the effort you’re putting in to your education. Everyone has already got at least one praise point so far and here’s just some of the praises for Dylan, Lacey, Bob, Callum and Toby have got since the start of term:
The official date of the State Funeral for The Queen is (Monday 19th September).
This day will be a Bank Holiday and settings that are normally closed on a Bank Holiday should close on this day as a mark of respect. Therefore School will be closed to staff and children on this day.
Please be reminded that School will also be closed for the upcoming Staff Days
Friday 23rd September and Monday 26th September.
Thank you for your continued support, XP East Office
Last week Crew Boseman went through all the lost property at the XP East office
Please see the pictures below and if any of these look familiar please go to the office to have a look and collect it
Many thanks
Mr Stables
