Last weekend, Ellis spent a few days in London, but working really hard! He took part in an original play, ‘Across the line’, with his theatre group, the Pauline Quirk Academy. We are all really proud of him, as he performed this play in the famous His Majesty’s Theatre, where The Phantom of the Opera has played for decades. Well done Ellis, we wish you well on your theatrical pursuits.

Our sports leaders supported Legacy Sport over 3 consecutive weeks leading a basketball primary event at XP School. Students were involved as referees, time keepers, score keepers and provided general support throughout the event. It was fantastic to see them step up and lead. The feedback we received was amazing from Legacy sport after the events. “What fantastic role models you have here at XP/XP East.”

Well done to all those leaders. Keep it up.

Crew Brunel – Week 20 Update

Author Profile
9 February 2025

Shannon Mitchell

This week, Crew Brunel have worked closely with their class buddies to reflect on their Habits of Work and Learning (HoWLS) throughout the half term. This collaborative process encouraged open dialogue, where they shared insights on their personal growth and set SMART targets for further improvement. By working together, they not only built a stronger sense of community but also held each other accountable for their progress. The reflection session provided students with a clear understanding of their strengths and areas for development, creating a nurturing, growth-focused atmosphere where everyone could thrive.

Also this week, Matilda and Chloe have earned the spotlight as star students of Year 8, receiving the most praise points for their outstanding contributions and hard work. Their dedication to excellence in both academics and behavior has set a great example for their peers. Matilda and Chloe’s consistent effort and positive attitude have truly made a lasting impact, earning them well-deserved recognition. Keep up the great work, Matilda and Chloe!

Extra curricular next week

Daniel Currie

Tuesday – Girls football practice/Badminton for all year groups

Wednesday – Year 7/8 netball game at home. Pick up at 5pm.

Thursday – Cheerleading practice

This week has seen our teams compete in a number of fixtures. Our Y7/8 girls competed against 6 other schools in a fixture this week. A great evening for all, which saw our girls come 4th winning 2 games along the way. It was great to see some new faces from previous games and showing our character traits throughout.

Our Year 7 boys had their first fixture of this calendar year in the Doncaster cup. Unfortunately, this ended in defeat but on a cold evening, the boys showed real resilience, determination and team work. They look forwards to the upcoming fixtures in March.

In PE, X31 had the opportunity to have a session delivered by two club Doncaster coaches, Mr Sterling and Mr Biggs who were impressed with the attitude and engagement of every single student. One student was selected to receive a Doncaster Rovers shirt, for his outstanding attitude, kindness and stewardship! We look forward to seeing the coaches deliver high quality sessions in the future!

Another fantastic week! Team PE.

This term we have been looking at mental health in our Wise Wednesday sessions in crew. All students have approached this maturely and we have had so really thoughtful and in-depth discussions.

This week crew made posters to round off our topic to display in our crew room.

Fab work from all!

With Me In Mind

Author Profile

Corrine Cross

X31 were visited by ‘With Me In Mind’ earlier this week to learn about how to look after their own mental health. This is linked to our Crew Curriculum for this term and helps equip pupils with the skills they need to tackle the challenges of growing up. Here are some of the pupils’ comments on the session:

“I would like to thank ‘With Me in Mind’ for coming into school and explaining in detail how to deal with tough situations and stress. They taught us ways to calm down such as the hand breathing and the four second breathing exercise.”

“We learned that it’s completely normal to worry about things that are small or big. We also learnt the techniques to help us breathe calmly. We loved the fact that you told us some ways to get the worries out of our heads. Thank you so much from crew Zephaniah.”

“If I see another student sad I will go and ask if they are ok. If I ever feel worried I will tell a trusted adult about my worries and do the meditation breathing.”

“It is important for children to look after our mental health because for children to live a happy life a good mindset comes first. A good mindset makes a child willing to try new things and live life to the fullest. In your next presentation I recommend you also talk about people cyber bullying on the internet. Thank you for paying attention and thank you for your work.”

SLC Success in Crew Peake 🌟

Melissa Cocliff

Crew Peake have held their Year 8 SLCs over the past 2 weeks. It’s been wonderful to listen to students articulate their learning – both the successes they’ve achieved and challenges they’ve faced! It’s always nice to catch up with our wonderful parent crew, too – and it’s a bonus when we get to discuss and unpick the abundance of ‘Awesome’ and ‘Great’ grades that are on our crew’s HoWLs snapshots!

We’d also like to appreciate the students who had difficult conversations with parents and with ourselves – we identified areas to focus on for progress to be made, and came up with pledges and action plans. We look forward to reviewing these!

Great work, Crew Peake. Keep being amazing 🫶🏻
