Work Experience & Placements

Upper Sixth's​ Work Experience

At the beginning of the Autumn Term in Upper Sixth students are required to undertake a five day placement with an employer of their choice. Students must self-generate their placement and they are supported with this in school. Placements are arranged by students between November and May of the academic year, with a view to have all placements confirmed by the Summer. Students see this as a great opportunity to improve their hard and soft skills, gain an insight into the world of work and give them a better understanding of their future aspirations.
