Year 12 Golf Trip

July 5, 2024/in General News/by Isabelle Stuckey

Today some of our Year 12 students went on a trip to the Centurion Golf Club. 

Our Year 12 students were able to take part in the trip due to a careers in golf programme. Our students experienced a 3 hour workshop in school with Jack Cole from the Golf Forum looking at the different career paths and jobs which are part of the golf industry. 

This was then followed by the trip today which gave the students a behind the scenes tour of the Centurion Club which had a world class course and clubhouse and an opportunity to spend the afternoon watching part of the Ladies European Tour. Only 5 schools in Hertfordshire took part in this opportunity!

Bishop of Bedford Visit

July 5, 2024/in General News/by Isabelle Stuckey

Yesterday the Bishop of Bedford visited Townsend.

The Bishop started their visit with a Q & A with our Sixth Form students, which consisted of questions like:

‘Why did you want to become a bishop?’

‘What are your views on same sex relationships?’

‘Who do you think will win the election and why?’

‘What is the most difficult aspect of being a bishop?’

‘What is your favourite song?’

After the Q & A the Bishop was able to enjoy a lunch with our Staff, Governors and Father Calum.

The Bishop ended their time with us by leading our Year 7 and 8 students in their collective worship, focusing on the Good Samaritan!

Art & Textiles Donations! 

July 4, 2024/in General News/by Isabelle Stuckey

The Art/Textiles Department would like to ask if anyone has any beads, or old beaded jewellery, materials or anything textiles based like old sheets, towels etc.

Also as we begin our brand new A Level course Fashion and Textiles in September, we are always very grateful for any donations of unwanted fabrics or Textiles related items. If you have any you’re keen to get rid off. If you are able to donate this would help support our GCSE Art students and our A Level Textiles students with their projects.

Thanks in advance.
