Year 10 Duke of Edinburgh – Townsend Church of England School

A reminder that the Practice Walk for Year 10 Duke of Edinburgh students is on Saturday 26th April.

Pupils will need to be at Townsend for 9am. Pupils will start their walk at approximately 10am and will be finished at approximately 4pm. Please note this is an approximate time dependant on how fast their group walks and how good their map skills are! We will allow pupils to contact you when they are 30 minutes away from school so that you do not have to wait around at school for long periods. Please make sure you are available to receive this call.

Pupils do not need to bring a big rucksack with them for the walk, however they can if they wish to. Breakfast before they arrive at school is advisable, and a packed lunch will be necessary. Please support your child with appropriate clothing and accessories for the weather.

If it is a hot sunny day, pupils should bring;

· Sun Screen and bring extra for application throughout the day.

· a Sun Hat

If it is cold and raining, pupils should bring:

· a rain jacket

· thin layers in order to regulate temperature

Pupils should not wear:

· Vests or strapless tops

· Jeans

· Cotton Jogging bottoms

If you have any questions please feel free to contact Mr Armitage.
