XP. School

At XP School, we believe music has the power to inspire and shape young minds. Each year, we offer a unique opportunity for children with a natural flair for music to gain a place in Year 7 through our dedicated Musical Aptitude route.

Whether your child already sings or plays an instrument, or simply has a keen ear for rhythm, melody, and pitch, this pathway recognises raw musical potential.

With access to expert tuition, vibrant performance opportunities, and a culture that celebrates creativity, XP School is the perfect stage for your child to flourish musically and academically.

We had an incredible time teaming up with Right Up Our Street and our wider Doncaster community to help install the breathtaking We Are Donny exhibition.

Seeing our students from XP School and XP East roll up their sleeves, work hard, and show true craftsmanship to bring this large-scale public art to life on the Doncaster Sheffield Airport runway was such a proud moment.

A huge thank you to RUOS for inviting us to be part of this global movement, and to all the amazing local groups who pitched in to make it happen.

To ensure a balanced intake of students across all ability levels, all applicants to an XP secondary school must sit a Fair Banding Assessment.

This multiple-choice test focuses on non-verbal reasoning and helps us place students into one of five ability bands. There is no pass or fail, and results are used solely to support a broad and representative admissions process.

Completing the assessment is a key part of the application and must be done to be considered for a place.

Please ensure your child is registered by 31st October 2026 and prepared to attend the assessment on 21st November 2026.
