On Friday 10th October, Year 5 & 6 pupils will be working with Street dance teacher Caitlin (the founder of Aftershock dance) as part of world mental health day. Being active has proven to have a positive impact on mental health which is why we have chosen to participate in dance to remind our pupils that it is important to stay active to keep a healthy mind.
Pupils are welcome to wear something yellow to acknowledge world mental health day and we are looking forward to a day full of mindfulness!
On the run up to our very exciting Disneyland Paris trip, I am challenging the children to learn some french. Here is our first challenge…how to introduce yourself.
Children will have the opportunity to show they have mastered this in our community crew sessions!
Here’s a selection of beautiful work from across the XP Trust!

G29: What makes a great education?
Last term, students in G29 at XPG were challenged to give a keynote at the MTEM conference on what makes a great education. Over a week they drafted and put together an incredible speech which they have now recorded back in school.
Once they had cooled we decorated and ate our cupcakes. We used our fine motor skills to try and write the initial letter in our name, using the icing pens. They were delicious!
Here are just some of our staff members who have shown courage and engaged in the XP staff induction program, developing their knowledge and understanding of crew!
We are very proud of them and we hope they wear their courage badges with pride.
Well done girls for your commitment to practicing your spellings at home! So proud- 10 crew coins each for ‘getting smart’ and a ticket each in our prize draw!
Knocked out on penalties in the quarter finals, to the eventual winners. But we showed great resilience to win the penalty shootout after to finish a creditable 5th out of 12 teams at this afternoons football competition. #LovePlover
