Christmas Jumper Day – Thursday 12th December

By realsmart admin9th December 2024

Shaun the Sheep is helping us make Christmas Jumper Day 2024 the best day ever!

As the charity’s new ‘Head of Wool’, Shaun has collaborated with Save the Children to make the world better with a sweater and wants children across the UK to join the flock

Christmas Jumper Day will take place on the 12th December 2024.

Put on your favourite Christmas jumper, donate £2 to Save the Children and help kids everywhere get the best future ever.

On the same day, the school kitchen will be cooking Christmas dinner for staff and pupils and our fabulous PE department are running a ‘Santa Dash’ (so please also bring a Santa hat for the day).

If you can, please donate via our school just giving page rather than bringing in cash in on the day.

Looking forward to seeing you in your Christmas jumpers.

This week in PE

Another amazing week of extra curricular in PE. Its been filled with some great wins and fantastic goals. Well done to the students who were awarded players of the match what a brilliant achievement.

Netball faced a tough opposition on Wednesday against Hayfield, unfortunately the year 8 team were unsuccessful but we gave them a good game. Well done to the year 7 team who won 2-1 it was a great team effort.

The year 7/8 girls football team played in a tournament against school across Doncaster, they had 3 fantastic wins. A few great goals and saves made in each of the games.

Finally to the KS4 badminton, hosted here at XP. The group of year 10 and 11 students played really well.
