Work Experience for Year 12 students takes place for a week in May
Our aim is that all Year 12 students will spend a week out of school in a working environment that aligns with their ambitions for the future.
We are committed to all our students having the best possible opportunities during their Work Experience week, not just those who already have a good network of contacts so we have developed an extensive directory of employers to draw upon when helping students to find a placement that suits them. We are very grateful to everyone who offered placements to our students this year, and if you, or anyone you know, would be happy to offer a placement to one or more of our Year 12 students during May in 2025 then please let us know by completing the short Form in the link below.
We use the Unifrog portal to support our students in preparing for their work experience and for all the administrative aspects of the placement.
During the week, students reflect on their experiences in the working environment and they keep a journal to record what they are learning. This reflection will help them when they come to make applications for university or apprenticeships during Year 13.
Our students have a diverse range of interests and aspirations, and we match that with the placements we are able to offer them.
