Thank you for considering placing a student for work shadowing. This is a very valuable opportunity for
the students. To experience work first hand, and to develop important skills in the workplace helps
them become successful in the workplace in the longer term.
Year 12 students take part in one weeks work shadowing in either May or July, although we do
recognise that some placements may take place at other times of the academic year with school
approval. Please note the above dates. Work shadowing is a very important part of the
curriculum/coursework and without the support and generosity of local business communities these
opportunities would not be possible.
It is the student’s responsibility to secure their own placements as this equips them with important skills
and is very good for their self-esteem. Placements also hold more value when students research and
apply for their own. Students in year 12 are encouraged to secure a placement within their chosen field
of study/progression.
Students work through a programme before work experience which ensures a positive and valuable
experience for both students and employers.
If you can offer a placement I would be grateful if you could complete the slip below and return it to the
student as soon as possible.
