Work Experience
Work Experience at Chipping Sodbury School includes an exciting one-week programme available to every Year 10 student. The student spends the week with an employer of their choice and are directed to carry out a range of tasks appropriate to their age and level of skill and experience. The aim to give them a genuine experience of what it might be like to work in their chosen field of work. It is essentially like having a 'real job' for five days.
We expect students to be proactive in finding a work experience placement but there is plenty of advice and support available. Please see below for the presentation shared with all students:
Some placements are easier to find than others and many placements book up a year in advance. In the challenging economic climate, companies are offering fewer placements and students need to work hard to find a place. June is also a very popular time for schools to send out their students on work experience, so do expect a lot of competition.
Below are some important documents for parents and carers to refer to and complete once a placement has been found:
