Work Experience
We are delighted to announce Year 11 Work Experience in the next academic year between 25th-27th November 2026. This is an exciting and important week for students as they consider their future career options and the onward journey through their Post-16 options. We hope students find this a really enjoyable and aspirational experience.
We will be expecting that all of Year 11 will complete a work experience placement this year as they start to prepare for the Post-16 choices later in the year.
Work Experience is important because students can:
- Try out a job/career
- Experience what it is like in the world of work
- Network and meet different people
- Gain practical skills and knowledge
- Find out about how school prepares you for the world of work
- Can sometimes lead to part-time job or an apprenticeship
- Stand out to future employers
- "Try out" a career they think they are interested in pursuing in the future
Once you have a placement you must have the Consent Form completed by Friday 18th September 2026.
The following documents will help you when looking for and applying to employers for a work experience placement:
