Work Experience

Year 10 student on work experience Work Experience at Chipping Sodbury School is a one week programme available to every Year 10 student. The student spends the week with an employer of their choice and carries out a range of jobs as directed by the employer. It is essentially like having a 'real job' for a week.

Some placements are easier to find than others and although July 2011 is a year away, many placements book up a year in advance. This year, with the challenging economic climate for companies, there have been fewer placements available and students need to work hard to find a place. July is also a very popular time for schools to send out their students on work experience, so expect a lot of competition. Students who do not find a work experience placement will be accommodated in School. NB: Health and Safety charges for placements that are out of the Bristol, South Glos, and BANES areas may be passed onto parents.
