Year 12 students engaged in their summer work experience placements during the final week of the summer term. Students successfully secured placements in different sectors nationwide.
Students selected placements that will benefit them by tying in with skills and careers that link into future career aspirations and higher education choices.
Students gained industry specific skills along with employability and general transferable skills, giving them valuable insight into a working week in their chosen placements.

Faye Bullock, Work Experience Co-Oordinator, said: “The work experience placements offer such invaluable opportunities and enrich students understanding of the world of work. Along with benefitting from physically being in a real-life work experience setting and getting hands on in the working environment they learn and develop confidence and gain valuable employability skills, helping them with future education and employment prospects. We thank all of the employers involved in supporting students from The Friary School on their work experience placements this summer”.
