I sent an introductory email with attached CV to all the
different placements I am interested in. I altered each email to suit the type of place,
for example, appropriate skills and aims.
I asked for a four day placement within Baverstock School, two/three day placement with the others.
Below is an example of the emails I sent. (Mac)
