Crew Brunel: A Term of Reflection
As we reflect on another incredible term, Crew Brunel has shown what it means to work together, embracing challenges, and celebrating each other’s achievements. This term has been filled with successes, meaningful reflections on our Habits of Work and Learning (HoWLs), and unforgettable moments of community spirit.


One of the shining stars of our school celebration was Pippa, our Crew Champion for the term! Pippa earned the most praise points for our crew, a true testament to her work ethic and positive attitude. Her consistency in both her academic work and her supportive nature towards others has made her a role model for the rest of the crew. We are all so proud of her and look forward to seeing her continue to shine in the future.

As we head into the next term, Crew Brunel is more motivated than ever to continue growing and achieving together. We know that success isn’t just about grades; it’s about the relationships we build, the challenges we overcome, and the way we support each other along the way. Crew Brunel has shown that with hard work, dedication, and a commitment to our HoWLs, there is no limit to what we can achieve. Here’s to another fantastic term of success, learning, and community.
Have a wonderful Easter break!

Lost Property at XP
This morning, students in Crew Nightingale laid out the lost property items from this term for students at break and lunch to look at and retrieve their lost items.
Not much has been reclaimed. If items are not claimed by the first week back, the lost items will be taken to a charity shop.







What a week in PE
We had some sporting success from two XP East students this week who won the Sheffield Hallamshire womens and girls league cup for U12’s. Amazing achievement from the girls. We love sharing our stories at XP Doncaster and are really proud of the their achievements.

This week we have had our last Year 7 netball game at the Year 7 netball tournament, where the students also got to meet England Roses and Manchester Thunder netball player Natalie Metcalf . The team have shown immense progress this season and the girls are starting to find their positions and working together as a team. Well done to our players of the match. We look forward to next season.



Happy Half term from Team, look out for the new enrichment timetable after half term.
Thanks Team PE
