Work Experience

We are delighted to announce Year 11 Work Experience in the next academic year between 25^th-27^th 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 18^th September 2026.

The following documents will help you when looking for and applying to employers for a work experience placement:

• Student Information Guide 2026
• Consent Form 2026
