Year 8 C31 HPV vaccine – 20/01/26
The School Immunisation Nursing Team will be visiting XP School on 20 January 2026 to administer the HPV vaccination to Year 8 students. Emails were sent this morning for parents consent or non-consent. It is very important that all parents/carers complete the form, even if you choose not to give consent, so that a response is received by the School Immunisation Team.

Wishing you a Happy Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Crew White’s bumper festive week
What a busy and brilliant week it’s been for Crew White — they have truly sparkled and shined! Between POL, our Santa Dash, Christmas Jumper Day, and enjoying Christmas dinner together, the festive spirit has been everywhere.
A huge highlight was hosting our annual bake sale for The Eve Merton Trust. Thanks to everyone who purchased hot chocolate and our home-baked festive treats, we raised an incredible £178! Your generosity and support are greatly appreciated.
Wishing all our Crew White families a wonderful and restful two-week break. Enjoy the festivities, relax, and we can’t wait to see you in the new year!
BTEC – Fitness testing experts
Our Year 10 BTEC Sport students enjoyed an inspiring week working with the Lead Sports Scientist from Doncaster Rovers Academy.
Throughout the sessions, students were introduced to a range of cutting-edge technologies used to track academy football players and support their performance development. It was fantastic to see many of them getting hands-on with the equipment, gaining a real understanding of how these tools are used in professional sport.
In addition, students had the opportunity to discuss the wide variety of career pathways within the sports industry and the qualifications needed to pursue them. We hope the experience has sparked curiosity and ambition, inspiring the next generation of Sports Scientists.
The year 10’s have made an incredible start to their BTEC course and it was been lovely to read their work this term. Please keep up all the hard work.

Year 11 X28 Crew Pasteur catch – up
Crew Pasteur have been busy since we came back from after half term, preparing for mocks, sitting them, and waiting for the results to come out. Mrs Earp and I would like to appreciate Crew for their preparation, in particular their work on History every week in Crew, which has supported them in their sessions and mock exams. It was an exciting morning last Thursday when results were issued, with plenty of success. This is a great experience and grounding for the next set of mocks, keep working hard Crew!
