Work Experience 2024

Year 10 Work Experience Week takes place from Monday 22nd April - Friday 26th April 2024.

Year 12 Work Experience Week takes place from Monday 1st July – Friday 5th July 2024.

We are delighted that once again our Year 10 and Year 12 work experience will be taking place in 2024. For most students this will be the first opportunity they have to experience the world of work and to gain valuable experience that will serve them well as they begin the journey towards university and/or employment. Many universities and employers require that applicants have completed a work experience placement and therefore this week is a vital part of their preparations for life beyond the academy.
