X31 Fieldwork THURSDAY 16th AFTERNOON

Natalie Johnson

Fortunately, the weather is on our side this week, meaning fieldwork to Hyde Park Cemetery for X31 is back on!

We will be leaving school and heading to the cemetery by foot after lunch. We will return to school in time for the end of the day, so students will leave at normal time.

Please can you ensure that your child arrives to school wearing appropriate footwear and wearing a coat. We will be outside for the entirety of our visit and it is important students stay warm!

This fieldwork is in support of our Expedition 7.2 Dig Deep.

We appreciate your support in working with us through the many changes we have faced due to adverse weather.

C31 Immersion Week: Digging into history & piecing together what is coming next!

C31 students have kicked off the term with an incredible first week of immersion! They have been working hard, getting smart, and being kind as they tried to figure out what their new expedition will be about. Many came close with their guesses, but the big reveal happened on Friday — and it was worth the wait!

Throughout the week, students engaged with new protocols, supported each other, and worked collaboratively. They also had the chance to interact with an expert in war artefacts, Michael and explore these artefacts, setting the stage for their upcoming expedition. It’s been awesome to see their teamwork, curiosity, and kindness as they navigated this exciting start to the year.

Check out the video below to see all the amazing work Year 7 has been doing. What a fantastic week!

Kicking off 2025 with a D6 session!

Today marked the first D6 session of Year 11, and also of 2025!

A number of incredibly dedicated Y11 students attended this morning and worked on science, maths, history and art work. The focus was a sight to behold – some great independent, and some small group work! Keep up the excellent work, guys – and thank you to the staff who supported on a frosty Saturday morning!

We are currently working to create a directory of experts for our upcoming Year 9 Passage Presentations and would appreciate your help! 

Passage Presentation is an opportunity for students to reflect on their learning and demonstrate their readiness to move onto the next phase of their education – GCSE.

Students share their high quality work to a panel of experts and their family through an oral presentation, increasing their accountability and character development demonstrating the skills and knowledge they have gained in Key Stage 3. 

As part of the presentation students provide insight into their future goals and aspirations and we would like to ensure an authentic expert for each of them at their presentation – this is where you come in! 

We are seeking support from any members of our community to become an expert panelist at a Passage Presentation, to listen to the presentation, ask questions and support in directing pathways. In order for this to be a success we request help from members of the public who are able to share their own experiences and advice in order to advance our students to the next level of formal schooling.

If you feel this is something you are interested in, please use this link to sign up to the directory. 

Presentations will take place week commencing 27th January 2025 for 3 weeks. You will receive an invite from the student you have been allocated nearer to the time. 

Should you have any further questions, please contact a member of our Key Stage 3 Team: 

Natalie Johnson- [email protected] (KS3 Lead) 

Emma Watson- [email protected] (Phase Lead XPE 8/9)

Chris Morrison- [email protected] (Phase Lead XP 8/9)

We appreciate your support in advance.

C28 Product

Corrine Cross

Year Ten have taken part in some community activism this term as part of their final product for the expedition ‘It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas’. After studying Charles Dickens’ ‘A Christmas Carol’ and watching Scrooge’s transformation, pupils were keen to demonstrate their own compassion to others. As such, we gave our support to Doncaster Food Bank. Inspired by a visit from the Food Bank’s manager, pupils made Christmas crackers which will be distributed with the Christmas food parcels by the Food Bank. Pupils created artwork, poetry and the attached supporting video to help make a difference in their local community. 

We would like to invite parents and guardians to echo this support in the new year by bringing donations for Doncaster Food Bank along with them to the rescheduled Presentation of Learning in January. Please see the attached poster for details of what is best to donate. 

Merry Christmas to everyone!

There will not be any provision for students to stay after this time so all students must leave at 1:30pm.
