From Tuesday 8th July - Thursday 10th July 2025, all students in Year 10 will have the opportunity to take part in Work Experience. This reflects our whole school priority to develop students’ understanding of the world of work. It will enhance our current careers provision and be an invaluable experience for students when applying for jobs, apprenticeships, Post 16 or university places.

Students will need to secure their own work experience placements. Please see the step-by-step guide below to organise Work Experience:

1. Contact potential employers, family members or family connections.

2. Explain that you would like to arrange a 3 Day Work Experience starting on 08/07/2025 and ending on 10/07/2025.

3. Go to the Work Experience section of the Campsmount website and download the Employer / Student Agreement and the Parental Consent Form.

4. Print the Employer / Student agreement form and ask the employer to complete form, sign, and date the relevant sections of the form.

5. Ask your parent/guardian to print, complete, sign and date the Parental Consent Form.

6. Ask the employer for the following additional documents:

• Employer risk assessment – including key hazards, PPE, and safeguarding.

• Employer’s liability insurance – copy or confirmation it's in place.

• Safeguarding statement/DBS – if 1:1 or unsupervised work is expected.

7. Sign and date Employer/Student agreement form yourself in the correct box.

8. Go back to the work experience section of the school website, complete the ‘Upload Work Experience’ form and upload the following documents:

• Parental consent form – including medical and emergency details.

• Employer / Student Agreement – signed by all parties, outlining dates, role, supervision, etc.

• Employer risk assessment – including key hazards, PPE, and safeguarding.

• Employer’s liability insurance – copy or confirmation it's in place.

The deadline for this process to be completed is 6th June 2025.
