Work Experience

Year 11 Work Experience 2010

All Year 11 students will be gaining valuable work experience in placements of their choice during the week beginning Monday 28th June 2010. Each girl will take responsibility for finding the initial contact and for arranging her placement. To see what our girls got up to during Work Experience Week 2009 - click here

We use the services of the Bedfordshire and Luton Education and Business Partnership (BLEBP) http://www.blebp.co.uk/ to carry out all the necessary pre-placement checks. They will contact the employer to ensure that a placement is appropriate, and that everything possible, within reason, can be done to protect the health, welfare and safety of our students. BLEBP also provides a Parents' Guide to work experience which can be accessed by clicking here.

The Student Initiated Work Related Learning form needs to be completed, where indicated, by the employer and signed on the reverse. Click here for Form (Page 1); Click here for Form (page 2)

Both pages of this form should be completed fully and returned to Mrs Emma Garrett, Work Experience Co-ordinator, before the end of the Autumn Term.

For further help in finding a suitable placement, we have a list of contacts and companies who have very kindly offered placements to our girls in the past. For a list of previous placements - click here


No Direct Approach

There are a number of companies who have requested that students do not contact them directly. All contact should be made via BLEBP and we will pass on your request. Please check the No Direct Approach list before contacting any companies if your chosen placement is listed above.

This should be completed and returned to school, as soon as possible. Placements for these companies will be offered on a first come first served basis and there are a number of schools within the county who will be planning work experience during the same week.
