Work Experience and Employer Involvement

Work Experience 

Year 10 students are offered the opportunity to do a week’s work experience usually during the second to last or final week of the summer term. If you are interested in offering work experience places for any of our students, please do not hesitate to contact the career’s team.

We would appreciate support from local employers with the following:
