Work Experience for year 10 students

KPS WEX Guidance Booklet.pdf

During the summer term, all year 10 students at Kingsway Park High School have the exciting opportunity to take part in a work experience placement. These placements give students the chance to develop important skills, gain confidence, and experience a real workplace. Completing a placement can also help when applying for college, apprenticeships, or future jobs.

In the autumn and spring terms, students will be supported with activities, weekly after-school drop-in sessions, and guidance from staff to help them find and prepare for their placement. This ensures every student is ready to make the most of their work experience and succeed in a professional setting.

Please see below the Work Experience Presentation and Guidance Booklet to support you and your young person.
