‘The Year The World Changed’ – Created by XP School Students during their time at Bessacarr Primary

This film was made by three students from XP, when they were at Bessacarr Primary! It’s been nominated for the ‘Into Film’ Audience Choice Award.

‘As the first Lockdown hits in March 2020, we follow the lives of two girls. Maisie continues to attend school as a key worker child, while Olivia must learn from home. As lockdown continues, we see how this affects the children and their friendship with a few hilarious recreations of the news thrown in for good measure!‘

You can vote for the film by Retweeting this Tweet!

Our amazing Trust Business Manager Caroline Greening competed at HYROX – a fitness competition for all levels held at the Excel Centre in Central London with over 4000 competitors! The event itself is an incredibly tough mixture of long distance running and functional fitness movements – sled pushes, farmers carrys, wallballs and much more! Well done, Caroline – you’re awesome!
