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!

Silver DofE – Extended Deadline for Expressions of Interest
We’re excited to share that the deadline for submitting Expressions of Interest for the Silver Duke of Edinburgh Award has been extended to Wednesday 17th December.
If your child is hoping to take part in this year’s Silver programme, please make sure the form is completed by the new deadline so we can begin the next steps and secure their place.
We’ve also attached the Information Slides, which include everything you need to know about what the Silver Award involves, expectations for each section, and how to get started.
This is a fantastic opportunity for students to challenge themselves, build new skills and enjoy unique experiences — we’re really looking forward to supporting them on their Silver DofE journey.
If you have any questions, please get in touch.

Crew Anning (GAS) / Parks (COG) have been busy sorting through all the lost property that has gathered over the term. They’ve taken photos of each item and organised everything neatly so students can easily find anything that may have gone missing.
All items are now in the XP East office.
If you spot something in the photos that belongs to your child, please ask them to pop down to the office and collect it at their earliest convenience.
Thanks Year 9 Crew
Enrichment Superstars
Last week was full of amazing after school fixtures.
Year 7 and 9 netball teams hosted Ridgewood, all students were excellent representatives from XP and XP East. Year 9 produced some amazing netball and won their match, unfortunately year 7 were not as lucky and just missed out. Well done to our sports leaders for supporting umpiring the matches. We had two outstanding players of the match from attack and defence. Well done , keep it up.
On the same night we also hosted the year 7 and 8 girls central venue football tournament. Huge well done to the Year 7/8 football team on winning all 3 of their matches. Absolute superstars.
E31 Learning Showcase: What Does It Mean to Be Human?
We are excited to announce that E31 will be presenting their learning on Tuesday 16th December from 4:00–5:00pm. This special event will celebrate the incredible work students have completed throughout their Being Human learning expedition.
Over the past term, E31 learners have explored what it means to be human, investigating identity, empathy, relationships, challenges, and the shared experiences that connect us all. Guided by their guiding question, “What does it mean to be human?”, students have engaged in deep thinking, thoughtful discussion, and creative expression.
This will be a meaningful and inspiring event, and we would love to see our community there to support and celebrate the hard work of E31.
We look forward to welcoming you on 16th December!
Thanks Year 8 Team
