Walking through nettles. Sitting in the shade. Following the Countryside Code. Helping each other. Making friends with a horse. Digging deep. Laughing. What a day.
Congratulations to all of Crew Malala for completing their D of E Bronze. Massive thanks to Mrs. Mawby who supervised us and made sure we made it through safely. Well done everyone. We are so proud of you.

Crew Malala had a very long, very warm, but very successful Day 1 of their D of E Bronze Expedition. Students packed up and left school this morning, setting off for a 10K walk from Norton Junior School to Brockadale Nature Reserve and back again. Students worked on teamwork, listening skills, supporting one another, and digging deep. It was a tough but rewarding day. Please check out the first round of photos. More to come tomorrow!

Last Friday Crew Malala had their Duke of Edinburgh Bronze practice walk. While at the start of the week we thought the weather might be awful it turned out to be a glorious day!
Myself, Mrs Mawby and Mrs Collinson were extremely proud of their team work and conduct while out on DofE.
Well done guys!!
Crew Malala were on Lost Property duty this week. Please take a look and claim items belonging to you at XP East reception. At the end of the week anything which remains will be donated. Thanks.

This morning during Crew time E29 gathered as a year group to wish our fellow Crew member goodbye and good luck. Ryan will leave a big gap in our year group, and in XP School but we wish him well as his family re-locate to sunny Cornwall.
Whilst doing a whip around to describe Ryan, a few words or phrases came up on many occasions such as ‘funny’ ‘kind’ ‘makes class fun’ ‘energetic’ ‘great guy’ ‘brightens up our day’ Those things sum Ryan up to a tee. How he has grown in strength and character during his time here is remarkable and I’m sure he will apply those skills and qualities in his new school. Crew will feel so different without him, a valued member of our family missing, but we will be sure to keep in touch.
Go show Cornwall all those wonderful character traits we see every day Ryan. See you in the summer for a pasty!
Photo 1 this morning, photo 2 our Crew and photo 3 our Crew on your induction days in July 2022. How you have all changed and grown.

Crew Malala in E28 had a great term in Autumn 2023. Here are some of the highlights:
We have been working on our Duke of Edinburgh Voluntary Stewardship by taking our turn to pick up litter around the school site. We have it down to a science, splitting into teams and taking different areas. We can clear the site of litter in around ten minutes!
With 97% attendance, we won the attendance league for Term 1a! We are waiting to see if we can keep the top spot for Term 1b.
At the end of Term 1b, E28 had their termly awards. Crew Malala came out on top with three awards! Fasia won for kindness, Alex for most improved, and Holly won for consistently working hard. Holly was a unanimous decision by all teachers who voted.
Crew Malala are looking forward to what 2024 brings. Merry Christmas & Happy New Year from Crew Malala. See you in January.
Miss Batty & Miss Collinson
Crew Malala continued their Duke of Edinburgh Voluntary Stewardship yesterday by taking the time to pick up litter around XP East. They have it down to a science, splitting into four teams of three to cover the whole site in around ten minutes. Good work Crew Malala!

Members of Crew Malala have started preparing for the passage presentations in the new year. Passage is where students have the opportunity to show how they have grown and that they are prepared for starting their GCSEs. This morning students reflected on their time at XP East and started preparing what they want to talk about during their Passage presentations.
