Year 10 Work Experience
All of year 10 will be out of school for their work experience week from Monday April 29th until Friday May 3rd.
If they have not already done so each student should contact the employer by telephone to ask if they need to attend a meeting, interview or initial visit before their placement begins. Most employers will not accept the student for their placement if this contact has not been made.
All students have been issued with a work experience logbook which contains important health and safety information and a script to help them make their phone call to the employer on page 5.
This logbook should be completed on each day of their work experience and the member of staff who visits the student will expect to see evidence of it being completed. There will be prizes and certificates for the best logbooks.
If your child experiences any problems while on their work experience placement please contact me at the school rather than the employer themselves. However, if your child is going to be late to their placement or is ill and unable to attend please ensure that the employer has been contacted and informed by the student.
We hope that all of the students really enjoy this very beneficial experience.

Townsend’s Family Fun Run!
Mental Health Awareness Week takes place in May.
The theme this year is “Movement: Moving more for our mental health”. To kick start the week we are organising a big family fun run and would like as many people in our school community to take part as possible.
The event will take place on Saturday 11th May at 2pm and we invite all students and their parents/carers, siblings and extended family to take part. Entry is £2 per person and all money raised will be going to one of our school charities: Youth Talk. This is a fantastic local charity that supports many of our students.
The fun run is a 2k course and will not be timed, it’s a fun community event where people can choose to run, walk or jog.
The run will start on the school field behind the Discovery Centre and the route is all on grass.
Our school PTA will be selling refreshments afterwards.
If you would like to take part then please complete the Google form and then send payment via School Gateway.

Year 7 Science
This week, our Year 7 Science students showcased their creativity and subject knowledge through a collection of captivating projects centred around cell organelles and their functions.
These projects not only demonstrated their understanding of the topic but also highlighted their enthusiasm for learning science. We extend our heartfelt gratitude for all the parents for their unwavering support to make these projects a success. Congratulations to our talented students on their outstanding work!

A-Level results day
Information about A Level results day and the process for the day.
A Level results day is on Thursday 15th August. The school will be open from 9am for students to come in and collect their results.
Normally, students will know before hand if they have been accepted onto their university courses or not. If your child is not accepted or has changed their mind on their first choice, then they will have to go through clearing. I and other teachers will be on hand during the morning to support students through this process.
Please see the following guidance from UCAS regarding the clearing process. https://www.ucas.com/undergraduate/clearing-and-results-day
Students will also have a Learning for Life lesson on this topic and student finance.
If you have any questions please contact me at the school.
