XPG Staffing Update – Mr Devitt

Dear Families

As some of you may know, Mr Devitt is completing his training to be a PE teacher this year. For part of this training, he needs to have experience of Key Stage 4 so is undertaking a 20 day placement in Castleview Enterprise Academy.Β 

We have been lucky enough to secure support from XP Doncaster and a member of their PE team, Mr Currie, is going to work with our students for one day a week over the next four weeks. Mr Currie is an experienced PE teacher who teaches across both XP secondary schools in Doncaster so understands our culture and ethos. He will be leading PE sessions with each of our classes.

During this time, our students will get one hour of PE each week. Our next Crew Day, which will take place at the end of June, will be focused on physical exercise and getting active so we will ensure that our students get PE time.

Mr Devitt is also a Crew Leader to Crew Parks in Year 8. Mr Said will be covering this Crew with support from Miss Pegg. Both of these staff know the students in Crew Parks really well and will continue to provide the level of pastoral care and attention that Mr Devitt did.

On a final note, Mr Devitt and his team mates at Hebburn Town FC lifted the Durham Challenge Cup on Wednesday evening to the delight of local fans.Β 

Congratulations to Mr Devitt and all at Hebburn Town FC!
