X21 Final Speaking Exam in Spanish

By Mrs N Sprakes24th March 2019

X21 have been working extremely hard in class and at home to prepare for their final exam. Though there are still a few weeks to go, just to let parents and carers know the dates for this final exam will be Monday 29th April – Wednesday 1st May. A timetable has been shared with students, so they already know their day and time.

Just a reminder about support sessions every Monday night for this, and that there will be an extra session on Wednesday 24th April after school as well; this will be their last chance to practise before the exams start. Good luck X21!

X23 DofE Bronze Expedition Kit Check:

By Mrs K apHarri25th March 2019

All students in X23 will need to bring in the items on their expedition kit list on Friday 5th April (1 week prior to expedition).

Expedition supervisors will do a thorough check to make sure students have the appropriate clothing, footwear etc.

This is an important part of the expedition process. Students that don’t have the correct kit could be at risk of not going on the expedition.

Kit lists are available on the XP DofE website or from the office.

Thanks

Kate

 

 

 

X23: School dinner or pack up Friday 12th April?

By Mrs K apHarri25th March 2019

A polite reminder to let crew leaders know if students are needing a school dinner or a pack up for lunch on the 12th April when we will return to school from the Bronze practice expedition.

If students normally bring in a packed lunch this would need to be sent into school on the Friday morning and handed into the office for your child to collect.

If this is not possible then you will need to order them a school lunch before the 27th March. Lunches cost £2.50 and will be added to your parent pay account.

Please make sure crew leaders are informed whether your child is having a packed lunch or needs a school lunch before the 27th March!!

Any problems please let me know.

Thanks

Kate

X23 Spanish Extended Study

By David Pearson23rd March 2019

Last week our X23 students were given a series of comprehension questions based on job adverts in Spanish. Phrases that are common to more than one advert were explained during the session.

The deadline for submission of this Extended Study on jobs is Tuesday 26th March for X23 Admiral and Thursday 28th March for X23 Skipper.

Thanks.

Car Parking and collecting students at the end of the day

By Mr M Said22nd March 2019

Good morning

Thanks to parents for observing the directions we placed on the website. Students are able to leave the gates safely now that we have the area set-aside and returning to the road via the south side of the car park seems to be working well.

If we could make one more polite request. We appreciate that sometimes you may be waiting for some time for your son or daughter to gather their things and leave the site, and may wish to listen to your radios etc.

Please could we ask that you switch your engine off whilst you wait, in the interests of keeping the school’s environment as healthy as possible for our students.

Many thanks for your continued support.

By Mrs K apHarri21st March 2019

We will be going on the practice expedition in 3 weeks time!

Please remember that students need to bring their own sleeping bag liner on expedition which was added to the mandatory kit list.

If you are wanting to borrow one from XP please email me before the 29th March so I have time to get them ready.

Thanks
