Y10 Work Experience

Our Year 10 students have the oppourtunity to experience the world of work. They are given the opportunity to have one week in April where they will spend time working in an organisation they have seeked for themselves.

Work experience gives students the chance to learn about what type of job they might enjoy and develop their CV.

We use Unifrog to manage all the administration work, where information is collected by the employer and an agreement from the students themselves.

Some important logistics: 

• Students need to agree the placement with the employer first, and then students will get the ball rolling by adding the placement to their Unifrog account (they’ll find the Placements tool on their Unifrog homepage). 
• The Unifrog system will then email the employer, the parent / guardian, and the school, to collect the necessary information and permissions. For the process to work, it is essential that students add the initial information about the placement accurately.

Vicky Richards is the schools careers advisor and will help. Her office can be found in the school library.
