Well done to our Year 12 Applied GCSE and BTec students who undertook a fortnight of work experience between January 18th-29th.  The feedback from their employers was overwhelmingly positive, here are some examples:

      'A pleasure to have work with us.'

      'A very polite and enjoyable person to work with.'

      'Always willing to help.'

      'Hardworking, friendly, willing to help his colleagues and willing to learn.'

      'A star student!  A very mature and well-balanced young woman.'

      'A credit to himself and the school.'

Students enjoyed the opportunity to gain a realistic taste of a working environment, learn some valuable life skills and transferable business skills, as one of them said:

      'Whilse I was at my work experience I learnt new skills and gained self-confidence.'

And, as another student simply stated:

      'I loved it!'
