Year 10 students have just returned after a week out of school on work experience. The students were at many varied places from Aston Martin, Owen Mumford, Museums, Golf clubs, Garages, Graphic design studios, an Auctioneer, Architects, EE, Veterinary surgeries, and many more, one student even worked for a fashion house in the Shard in London.
The students find work experience a very rewarding experience and insight into the world of work, it really teaches them some of those vital skills they will need in life, and a good reference from an employer can make all the difference with college or job interviews.
A number of students have also been offered apprenticeships and Saturday jobs as a result of their week at work.

If your child will be starting in Year 10 in September it is never too early to start looking for a really good place, one that interests them and that they will enjoy.
If you or a member of your family works somewhere that would be able to offer one of our students a placement next year then please get in touch with Louise Moorman at the school.
