Work Experience - Year 12

As part of our commitment to supporting students in their journey towards a successful career, we run a programme of work experience for all students in year 12.

This usually takes place during the final summer term. 

There are some restrictions set out by the government regarding what a student can and can't do and they are:

• Placements should link to the subjects they are studying and their desired pathway for post 18.
• Part time jobs don't count.
• A minimum of five days, full time.

As thousands of students across the county are competing for placements, we encourage students to apply early and lock in their work experience as early as possible. 

We have an excellent network of business contact and students are also welcome to find placements with family contacts if they are able to.

In all cases, we will support students to find something meaningful to help prepare them for the wider world of work.
