Beautiful Work This Week

A Visit to India!

Our CAO Andy Sprakes and CEO Gwyn ap Harri have been working with a school in Amritsar, India to help them develop and implement Crew and Expeditions. Their visit to the Miri Piri Academy came as a result of their team visiting XP earlier this year.

As part of their visit, they completed an Expedition slice with the school – the product of which is to be published in the coming weeks! Watch this space…

Celebrating our students’ international success!

Andy Sprakes, our Chief Academic Officer, was proud to present two of our Year 11 students Guraaj Kaur and Declan Richards with framed artwork representing their participation in, and contribution to, an international education conference that took place last year at XP Doncaster.

Both students spoke with eloquence and authority about Learning Expeditions, in particular the outstanding ‘Should I Stay or Should I Go?’ which involved students creating a film about the plight of refugees in Doncaster, what we as a community can do to help and which was premiered at Cast Theatre in Doncaster.

Guraaj and Dec are superb ambassadors for our Trust. Both great students and wonderful human beings!
