European Day of Languages

September 20, 2024/in General News/by Isabelle Stuckey

European Day of Languages was established by the Council of Europe in 2001. It is celebrated every year, on 26th September, by many schools across Europe.

Next week at Townsend, we will be running a range of events throughout the week to celebrate our cultural and linguistic diversity, including our annual MFL Bake-off for students in Years 7, 8 and 9, form quizzes and a Blooket challenge. Please encourage your child to take part and enjoy the benefits a knowledge of other languages and cultures bring.

Safeguarding

September 20, 2024/in General News/by Isabelle Stuckey

As children go through life, they will inevitably come into conflict sooner or later.

These disagreements can range from seemingly minor squabbles to far more serious disputes, and dealing with them in an effective, mature manner is an absolutely vital skill – one that takes some time and effort to cultivate.

In children and young people’s formative years, it’s incredibly important for parents and educators to know how to teach them conflict resolution, as well being able to model this skill effectively. This free guide offers expert advice on helping youngsters avoid unnecessary conflict and supporting them in finding solutions when clashes arise.

Please read the below information sheet on how to support your child with managing conflict.

Assistant Headteacher
