Across the XP Trust we love to share our beautiful work, celebrate our communities and share how we do what we do and why we do it.
We have captured, Our Vision, Our Ethos, Our Design Principles – Our Story, in a series of podcasts – The Culture Burger – and thought you might like to experience How We XP and hear about it first hand from our Crew here at XP.
You can now chow down on the entire first series here!

Crew nursery have been looking for signs of spring this week! They have noticed that the weather is much warmer and that the sun is shining. The children have been discussing the animals, plants and insects that they might see in spring. They have planted their own sunflower seeds and they went on an exciting bug hunt! They found snails and ladybirds in Carcroft’s ‘Bugingham Palace’. The children used the play dough to create spring chicks and they used their building skills to design and make safe houses for chicks in the construction area.
Today the children made bird feeders using their fine motor skills. They thought of appropriate places around the outside area they could place them to feed the local birds.
We spoke about how placing food outside could help the birds during the season of Spring and support them with their young. The unit have been so caring and have really impressed their teacher with their empathy towards the wildlife.
Well done Crew FE!
Over the next 2 weeks, the crew will be completing their Final product which has DT focus. They have designed their product and used natural resources to decorate but we need your help…
If you happen to be out and about, especially now the sun has made an appearance. We would really appreciate any of the following items;
Small stones/pebbles
Leaves
flowers that could potentially be dried
shells
twigs
sand
Cut off of any ribbons/wool – bits that would normally be thrown out
Any other natural material that could be used as a decoration on an item approx A5.
The children can bring these in or I’m on the door in the mornings and afternoon.
Thanking you in advance

Today in Crew Nursery we have celebrated Red Nose Day by having a non-uniform, crazy hair day!
Thank you to our grown ups for making such an effort, we look great! 🤩
The children have learnt all about comic relief and why we fundraise today. We have enjoyed coming to school in our non uniform and silly hair and here are just a few of our children raising funds for such a worthy cause.
We have spoke about fundraising and how this shows kindness to others who may not be as lucky as we are in their lives.
Well done everyone who took part.
Dear Parents,
We have received notification from Doncaster Council that there are currently no plans to fund the provision of Free School Meals vouchers during school holidays going forwards.
We wanted to give our families as much notice as possible as this means that you will not receive any vouchers for the Easter break.
If the situation changes and funding becomes available we will send out further updates.
Please do not hesitate to contact the school to discuss any additional support you feel you may need. We will do our best to try and support in other ways wherever possible.
Thank you Carcroft Crew
