🎄FXP’s Christmas Film Night!!!!🎄

Just a reminder that our new Friends of XP are hosting their first Christmas Film Night for XP & XP East students next Thursday, 7th December 2023!

The votes are in… and the viewing will be (drum roll, please)…..

🎄 HOME ALONE!  🎄

We are in need of chocolate/sweet donations for the sweet stall; plus, please search in your cupboards for any unwanted gifts you may have – we’ll have a stall to sell these on the evening!!!

We will be selling cans of pop, too, so any donations of those would be gratefully received.

As FXP is starting up again, the team have no funds to work with on these events; and so are relying on donations and volunteers to help our events run smoothly.

Let’s make the FXP Film Night a fabulous end to Christmas Day in school! 

If you’re able to volunteer some time or donations, please do get in touch with your child’s crew leader, or contact Vic directly.

Donations of gifts/food and drink to be sold can be sent to XP or XPE office. 

Funds raised will be put back into supporting things like quality fieldwork in expeditions, so it’s really important work!

We look forward to seeing our students next week – the film begins at XP East stairs at 4pm sharp!!!

TODAY’S THE DAY! C24 & 25 Parents Evening – Post 16 Provision. Wednesday 8th December 2021 at XP East 5.30pm to 7.30pm

XP & XP East are proud to announce our Post 16 Evening and would like to extend the invitation to parents/carers and students in years 10 & 11 at both schools. FXP have kindly offered to support so refreshments will be available on the night and all funds raised will support our students across both schools. As you will be aware opportunities to attend potential provisions have been difficult to arrange so at XP we decided to invite providers to come and meet our students.

Local 6th form providers have been invited to give a short presentation and will be available with stalls for the rest of the evening to answer any question you may have about their Post 16 provision. We are delighted with the response so far from providers and are looking forward to supporting our students in making informed choices as they come to the end of their XP journey. Please complete the form in the link below if you will be attending.

It’s national ‘Christmas Jumper Day’ on Friday 13th December and we are asking if your child can come to school in their best Christmas themed jumper / t-shirt / outfit and donate £1 to ‘Save the Children’ to help kids around the world.

You don’t have to go out and buy a brand new jumper to join in with the day. You could just grab an old jumper and cover it with stickers, tinsel or whatever sparkly stuff that you have at home! Get creative! Have fun!

Here are a few ideas:

Just remember… Save the Children’s Christmas Jumper Day is about more that just wearing silly sweaters – it’s about making the world a better place for children.

As testament to all the hard work and dedication put in by all members past and present, FXP has become so big that we now need to register as a charity and adopt a formal PTA structure.

As part of this we need to hold a formal AGM and elect members to the positions of secretary and treasurer.

We invite all parents, carers, guardians and staff who have a vested interest in FXP to attend.

The posts of Secretary and Treasurer are open to all parties with a vested interest in FXP and anyone who wishes to stand for these positions is invited to notify the chair by email ([email protected]) no later than 24:00 on October the 23rd 2019.

The format of the AGM will follow a best practice format and an agenda will be published in due course.

The Chair will be available from 17:00 on the day of the meeting, at XP East should anyone have any questions or items they wish to discuss.

Tickets for our eagerly awaited second Ladies Night are now available! Drop your money into one of the offices with your child’s name/crew on & we’ll send out your tickets or you can keep your eyes peeled for one of our FXP Crew selling tickets in the carpark after school.
