Each year in September, year 10 and year 12 students are introduced to the work experience programme.
Students should discuss with parents and carers which types of jobs they’d like to do and where they could potentially do their work experience.
Year 10
Work experience for year 10 students is about building confidence ahead of entering year 11. Placements should be agreed by May to ensure that any appropriate health and safety checks can be undertaken and the student is insured and prepared to attend the workplace. This is done using Unifrog. Work experience usually takes place in July.
Year 12
A one-week work experience placement is part of our year 12 course and takes place in the summer term. Year 12 placements might be connected to a student’s future career and the subjects they have chosen to study, but we encourage students to consider their future and broadening their horizons. Organisation of work placements is completed through Unifrog.
