Key Stage 4 (Year 10 and 11)
Work Experience
All students are encouraged to take part during the dedicated Work Experience week in the summer term. You will receive guidance and support from your Life and Moral Skills teacher, your form tutor and other members of staff in school. You will create a CV that you will be able to send to employers with a supporting letter or email.
You will be introduced to a database and provided with a username and password to find employers that have previously taken work experience students. You will have a half term to secure a place and when this has been confirmed you need to fill in a work placement form and hand it in to student services. From there, the school will use a company named ‘Safety Measures’ to carry out the health and safety checks and then your placement will be confirmed.
You will be briefed before you attend your placement and your form tutor will ring during the week to check your progress. On returning to school you will be de-briefed and evaluate the experience.
