Y1 Family Learning
A huge thank you to all the parents and carers who came with us today on our family learning event. We were very lucky that the forecast rain did not make an appearance as we walked around our town looking at the landmarks that we have been learning about. How many can you spot in the slideshow below?
Crew Spetch – Awesome Home Learning!
A huge shout out to Chloe for all of her amazing home learning. It has been great to see how hooked Chloe has been in our Egyptian Case Study and she has brought in lots of home learning throughout the case study! It has definitely paid off – your historian knowledge is super impressive! Very proud!
We have arrived!

Beautiful Work This Week
Why We Crew – XP Trust in Aberdeen
Since 2019 we have been working with the educational charity The Wood Foundation, which is based in Scotland. Dozens of educators from schools in the Aberdeen area have been visiting our Trust as delegates for the last four years – learning about Crew, expeditions and Leadership.
This week for the first time colleagues from our Trust, including our CAO Andy, had the opportunity to deliver CPD to teachers in Aberdeen, visiting schools and meeting students. It was heartwarming and humbling to see Crew – sometimes called Squads and Clans north of the border – being delivered in Scotland.
We look forward to welcoming more delegates to our Trust schools in the future and travelling back to support our new friends as they continue their Crew journey.
There Is No Planet B – Product Curation at Norton Juniors
The beautiful work from LKS2’s Expedition ‘There Is No Planet B’ is now curated outside the school! The awesome artwork, created from digital images of discarded waste, depicts various different animals whose habitats are being destroyed in the local community. To further reinforce the notion of climate emergency, through their literacy cycle, pupils also wrote persuasive speeches about how we can all bring about positive change if we work together.
