Work Experience
All students in Years 10 and 12 will have the opportunity to take part in physical or virtual work experience activities. During the Summer Term, students will be expected to spend a week in employment, gaining experience and skills to support decision-making and to inspire them with the opportunities they have.

Students are requested to self-place using the guidance provided in the launch assembly and sent to students and parents via Edulink. We have links through The Pledge Partnership to employers in a wide range of sectors to support students with finding placements and both school and Career Connect will give more support to those who, despite their best efforts, have not been able to find an appropriate placement.
