Year 10 Work Experience Parents Evening
Work Experience Placements: 28 June – 2 July 2010
This is an important part of the Key Stage 4 curriculum and so I invite you to a briefing meeting on Thursday 14th January 2010 from 7.00p.m. to 8.00 p.m. in the school’s Drama Complex.
Year 10 pupils will be learning about what work experience can involve for them, what they might achieve through it and how to complete documentation during coaching periods and assemblies in January.
The programme for 14th January is as follows:
- A presentation outlining the objectives and logistical details of the work experience placements including pictures of pupils on placement.
- An account of the employer’s view of work experience by an employer involved last year
- The opportunity to question two Year 11 pupils who took part in work experience last year
You will be given a pack containing copies of the work experience documentation at the end of the meeting including available placements and advice on securing other placements.
I do hope that you will be able to attend this meeting. Letters with return slips are being sent home with pupils.
Yours sincerely
Virginia Crewe

SPLAT Trips are a Roaring Success
Year 7 pupils have had the opportunity to attend many exciting trips so far this term.
On the 11th November 4 year 7 classes visited Lancaster Castle. This was to link with the local area and community project. All of the year 7’s included information about the Lancaster witches in their projects. The groups were treated to a tour of the outside and sights of the real working prison. We were then escorted into the building to the torture room, where we saw a range of historical artefacts used for torture!
Another group completed a survey of the local people of Clitheroe to research beliefs and religious practices. They were also involved in the town Remembrance ceremony. Mr. Proud’s group visited URBIS in Manchester to learn about ‘City life.’ This was part of the ‘Town and Country Unit.’
On the 18th November Miss Hartley’s group visiting the Mosque in Nelson. They thoroughly enjoyed learning bout Muslim beliefs and practices. Pupils asked their own questions about the mosque and Muslim worship. The RE department hopes to organise further trips to the mosque in the future.
On the 25th November four year 7 groups were lucky enough to be visited by the town crier and ghost expert Mr Simon Entwistle. Miss Hartley’s group enjoyed a visit to St. James Church in Clitheroe, they talked to worshipers and looked around the church. Mr. Proud’s group learnt about life in the country at Gazegill Farm. Other groups were taken to the Lowry Centre in Manchester to learn about the life and works of Laurence Stephen Lowry.
Thanks to all SPLAT teachers for their efforts.
