Waldegrave School End of Spring Magazine 2023

YEAR 10 WORK EXPERIENCE WEEK

Nothing prepares you better for the world of work than some unpaid work experience. Up and down the country, organisations offer valuable opportunities to students, providing an insight into the skills needed when you finish school. Every year here at Waldegrave we give our Year 10 students the opportunity to take a week off schedule to complete work experience at a placement of their choice. Completing a week’s worth of placements can be the make or break for some students, as it can really help them to decide whether a certain career path is right for them, making post-GCSE choices easier at the end of Year 11. We were thrilled to see how keen our students were to get started at their placements and the diverse range of industries being explored! Students spent time at accountants, pharmacists, veterinary surgeries, architects, bookshops, pet groomers, music shops, schools, restaurants, hotels, management consultants, technology companies, animal farms banks, solicitors, media companies, universities, and textile manufacturers.
