XP School: All about Crew
XP School: All about Crew
At XP, on their first day students join 11 peers and a teacher on an outward bound expedition to become a ‘Crew’ who stay together for their entire school career. Crew is the pastoral system at XP, but it’s so much more – it’s the lifeblood of the school and you can find out more about it in our new video.

How they XP
XP School in Doncaster is by no means an ordinary school. At XP, the focus is on character growth and creating beautiful work that has a place in the real world.
Students learn via a series of cross curricular expeditions which can might include activities such as an outward bound trip, interviewing older local people for a history project or working with a local charity. Not only does this make learning more engaging for youngsters, it puts lessons in the context of the real world and helps them develop the skills they’ll need in the workplace and beyond.
