C25 Mock Exams
We’re looking forward to welcoming Y11 back from their work experience week and will be cracking straight on with our mock exam preparation!
Y11 will sit mock exams from 29th November until 14th December, as detailed in the timetable above.
Revision sessions will continue to run during lunchtime and after school and attendance at these is very much encouraged. We will also run a D6 session on Saturday 3rd December for those students who would like to get together in study groups, or just need a quiet space to revise.
As we move closer to final exams, we will be inviting our C25 parents/carers to a GCSE information evening in the next year – an email will be sent out with details soon.

Crew Kahlo putting the hours in at home
I wanted to show some pieces of work that Olivia, Jessy and Nida have been working on at home.
All three girls have really impressed me with their work ethic and are showing how they ‘Get Smart’.

Crew Kahlo starting Year 10
Crew Kahlo has made a great start to their fourth year at XP (How time flies).
Our crew week was a bit different this year which consisted of:
- A crew day to check in with each other and set expectations for the year ahead
- A day of team-building activities to help us communicate and work better together (which we won!)
- A coastal walk at the lovely Flamborough to have a chance to walk and chat in the lovely fresh air
- A crew presentation to answer the guiding question ‘How can we get everyone to the top of their mountain?’.
C26 (Y10) appreciations and praises
We had an amazing Y10 awesomeness meeting this week, with lots of applause to celebrate the praises and appreciations from staff! It was also wonderful to hear lots of students appreciating fellow students and staff during this community meeting.
Big shoutout to Crew Obama (XP East) who are leading the way with the Top 5 praises… what a Crew! Meanwhile, over at XP, I wonder if anyone will come close to Hazel’s magnificent tally of 21 praises before the end of term?

C26: Coastal walk on 1st September
As ever, we will be kicking off our first week back at school by regrouping and rebooting Crew.
On Thursday 1st September – our C26 students (new Y10) will be going on a coastal walk to Flamborough.
Students should arrive at school between 8am-8.15am so that we can leave at 8.30am. We are aiming to be back at school by 3.30pm, but will keep you updated on the day.
All students will be expected to bring the Outdoor Kit listed below:
- Appropriate rucksack for walking.
- Packed lunch (those on FSM will be provided with a school pack lunch.)
- Water bottle: approx 2 litres (no energy drinks, milkshakes or fizzy pop)
- Waterproof jacket
- Appropriate walking trousers/shorts/leggings for the weather.
- Walking top/base layer; made from synthetic, man made material (polyester, nylon etc). This type of material removes sweat away from your skin keeping you cool in hot weather and warm in cold weather
- Appropriate outdoor shoes (sturdy trainers, walking shoes or walking boots are compulsory – no open toe sandals, canvas shoes or sliders)
- Sun hat/Sun cream
- Medication
For further information or questions please email your child’s crew leader.
Thanks!
X26 ‘Hold Back The River’ Peak District Fieldwork
Year 9’s current expedition ‘Hold Back the River’ has the guiding question, ‘how does water shape our world?’
During this expedition, our geography content is focusing on river characteristics from source to mouth, river processes, formation of landforms as well as the cause, impacts and responses of flooding. As part of this, we are applying the theory of river processes and characteristics to the field.
On Tuesday 21st June, students will visit Edale in the Peak District, they will work together to collect data regarding the width, depth, velocity and load of rivers. We will also be capturing the beauty of a river by completing artwork. This data collection will allow us to accept or reject our hypothesis once we have analysed our data in our maths lessons.
Students will need to arrive at school no later than 8:15am so that the register and kit check can be completed before leaving school.
It is also essential that all students bring all of the kit on the KIT LIST so that they are fully prepared for the fieldwork; this includes a packed lunch and water to drink. Students will need to ensure they have suitable walking boots/trainers as well as wellies or a pair of trainers they can get wet – we’ll be going in the river to collect the data! If there are any problems in getting the appropriate kit before this, please email your child’s Crew Leader.
Students will be returning to school for 3:15pm (if traffic allows). Please ensure that you complete the ‘Medical Form’ which will be given to students this week and return it to Crew Leaders/expedition teachers as soon as possible.
Many thanks in advance for your support with this!
