Work Experience It is our policy to encourage all students to undertake a quality experience placement during their lower sixth year (Year 12). By spending time in local hospitals, firms and offices, many students have gained a valuable insight into a professional world beyond school. As a result, career goals are clarified, higher education targets brought more clearly into focus and students can see even greater purpose to their academic studies. Many students spend time in local primary schools, enjoying the opportunity to assist the education of younger children. Such an experience is highly value by higher education institutions offering Initial Teacher Training Courses. Other students have spent their time assisting in nursing homes, work shadowing journalists or observing high pressure sales negotiations first hand!

Whilst the school provides full assistance to students, we do encourage as many sixth formers as possible to find and arrange their own work placements. To be able to write on an employment or higher education reference that a student arranged his or her own work placement says a great deal about the initiative of the individual concerned and undoubtedly impresses any would-be interviewer.
