# Work Experience

In Year 10 pupils undertake one weeks work experience to gain employability skills and to experience the world of work. Please see the letter below which provides further details about the week and also the supporting self placement forms.

Prior to pupils going on work experience they will have a series of lessons in personal development to prepare them for their placement. Whilst on work placement, pupils are asked to complete a work placement diary to log their activities and experiences during the week.
