Year 10 students will all be out of school completing their work experience placements next week.

They will be visited by a member of Townsend staff while on their placement unless this is not possible. Please ensure that your son / daughter remembers to call the employer if they are unable to attend due to illness on any day of their placement or if they are going to be late. Students should also ensure that they know how to get to their work experience placement.  Please call the school and not the employer directly if there are any concerns with a placement. All students should be completing their work experience log book while on their placement and visiting staff will be checking this.

We look forward to hearing about their experiences when they return to school on Monday 19^th May.

What’s happening:

· The film will start at 1:45pm in the hall.

· Pupils can join at 1:45pm or at 2:00pm after afternoon registration.

· This is an in-school event to celebrate pupils’ positive behaviour and contributions.

How to take part:

· Pupils must sign up to attend. Sign-up will take place on Tuesday 6th May in the small canteen during breaktime.

· Everyone who signs up will also get the chance to vote for the film they’d most like to watch.

· Only pupils with an invite will be allowed into the film viewing.

· Anyone without an invite will be expected to attend their normal lessons as usual.

We hope this event gives our Bronze Award pupils a chance to relax and enjoy some well-earned recognition!
