Virtual Work Experience

 

Sadly due to the National Pandemic of Covid19 and various lockdowns, Work Experience for our current Y11 and Y10 cohorts has not been able to take place as we would have hoped.  This has affected almost every pupil across the UK, unless they managed to squeeze in their experience before March of last year!

However, on a positive note having spoken to many of our Y11 cohort you have either managed to have a day with your original placements, worked with a relative or had some form of purposeful experience which is fantastic.  Below you will find some links to ‘Virtual Work Experience’ opportunities.  We have looked into all of these options and feel there is a broad and varied offer of experiences to hand that we would love you to gain from.  Please take some time to look through all the options, many programmes will run in school holiday time, whilst some will run in term time.  If you feel there is a programme that you would like to be involved in that will affect your school day, please do come and see me before you sign up, so that we can discuss that the experience will indeed meet your needs and I can ultimately give you authority to attend.  Please DO NOT sign up for a programme that will affect your school day without seeking schools permission to do so in advance.
