We firmly believe that ‘work experience’ takes many different forms including work related learning, shadowing and volunteering. Therefore all work experience, enrichment and leadership opportunities that students take part in are logged centrally.

All Year 12 students take part in a 1 week work experience placement which are safeguarded by Derbyshire County Council through the Service Level Agreement we have with them.

In addition to this, any Sixth Form students who wish to organise their own Work Experience throughout the year will be supported with this, some students such as medics and primary teachers have to complete work experience as part of their post 18 entry requirements.
