At Beverley High School we feel that it is vital that all students gain an understanding of the world of work and have opportunity to develop skills that will enable them to transition smoothly to employment at some stage in the future.

For this reason, all Y10 students will undertake a week of work experience, from 26th April to 30th April 2027

As part of the process of developing skills that will be invaluable in the real world, students are expected to arrange their own work experience placements.

The process of organising a placement has been explained in assembly this week.

Once a student has identified a suitable placement, the form provided below should be completed by the parent and the employer and returned to the school office. This will then enable all of the relevant safety checks to be undertaken. These checks are carried out by an organisation called E2W (Education to Work) on our behalf.  (Form can be found below)

In order for all of the necessary safety checks to be carried out, placements should be organised, and the form returned to school, by no later than Friday 5th February 2027 to the school office. 

It should be remembered that if a placement in the precise area of work that a student  is interested in cannot be found, there are still many benefits to be had from finding a placement where there are skills required that would be transferable to the student’s chosen field.

For some employment fields there will be very high levels of students hoping to secure a placement, so to maximise the chance of securing a placement it is advised to organise this as soon as possible.

Please be aware that students will be expected to make their own way to their placement and follow the start and finish times required by the employer.

Students will be expected to dress accordingly for their placement and students will be expected to provide their own protective clothing for those work-places that require it.

During the work experience week students are expected to complete their work experience log. This log will be distributed nearer the time of the placements.
