All students need to find a placement for this week as there will be no provision for Year 10s that week at school.

Finding a placement:

• Decide on what you want to do, which industry, type of job and company you want to experience.
• Google to find businesses in the area who do this line of work.
• Research which companies you want to contact.
• Contact each of these companies - asking if they are able to offer a work experience placement.
  Companies prefer it when you (the student) contact them about a placement, either in-person, via email or telephone call. (Parents, form tutors and Miss Dallimore are here to support you if you are not sure how – just ask).
• If no, try another company.
• If yes, and you want to go there - fill in the paperwork and have it signed off by the employer, parent/carer and you (student).
• Pass signed paperwork to Miss Dallimore, or pop it in the Blue Box.
• • If you are struggling to find a placement, ask fellow students where they are trying, ask friends or family for ideas.
  • Ask where students went in previous years.
  • Think of another job in a different industry to try.
