Just a reminder of our colour run event on Wednesday ✨
Please can any money your children have raised be handed into their child’s class teacher. The top fundraisers will be announced in their community crews!

We hope you have all enjoyed the summer break. We are looking forward to welcoming you back to school on Tuesday 29th August.
Please remember that our new school day (as per below) starts on our return.
8:45am Start of school day (doors will open at 8:40am and close at 8:45am)
3:15 End of school day (the school gates will open at 3:10pm)
Please remember to park cars safely and with consideration for others at drop-off and pick-up times. The roads surrounding school get very busy at these times. When possible, we suggest parking slightly further away from school and walking in. It’s healthier too!
Remember to keep an eye on the school blog next week to see what the children are getting up to as they settle back into school.
See you on Tuesday!

We want to promote the love of reading in Year 5&6 so we are launching a summer challenge!
We would love to see pictures of you reading in the summer holidays. EVERY child in 5&6 who enters will receive a small prize and we will have an overall winner from each crew for the ‘most creative place to read’ who will receive an extra special prize!
Have a fabulous summer, stay safe, have fun and keep reading!

G29 Students at XP Gateshead launched their book ‘From The Ground Up’ which answered the guiding question ‘What do the communities of North East England owe to the miners?’ at Seven Stories in Newcastle!
They also celebrated all of their beautiful work from their first year at XPG – you can view a collection of it here!
Year 5 and 6 Students at Plover School launched their awesome new Poetry Anthology ‘At the Coalface’ at a Mining Gala they hosted for their local community – beautiful work!
Over 5 years ago Miss Stewart and Miss O’Neill started their journey with us at Green Top as apprentices. They then progressed and secured Learning Coach positions whilst studying towards a degree in Education. Over the last two years they have both completed their degree and qualified as teachers! We are so unbelievably proud of them both and grateful that we were a part of their special journey. Sadly we didn’t have any teaching positions for them at Green Top so they have secured teaching positions in other schools. Again, we are so, so proud of them! We wish them both lots of luck in their new schools and know that they will be wonderful teachers inspiring many children in the future!
This year we say goodbye to Sue, one of our school cooks. She has been looking after us all for 30 years and we will be sad to see her leave!
We presented Sue with flowers and gifts today and celebrated her time at Green Top!
Good Luck Sue!
Year 9 students from XP and XP East gifted 30 terrariums they created for the residents of the Oaklands Care home this week. The home on Bawtry Road was delighted to accept the miniature indoor gardens, which the residents will look after and keep.
Darren the Oaklands manager is pictured here accepting the terrariums – all of which are low maintenance and were happily handed over to residents.
Ed Miliband shared an update from his Facebook page about XPCC23, praising students for their awesome work and involvement in the conference.
