Work Experience
We have taken the difficult decision to cancel work experience for Year 10 students in July this year. This is as a result of concerns for the safety of students and the continued uncertainty about how the current lockdown restrictions will be eased in the future. If you have any questions about work experience please do not hesitate to contact Mr Fenner: kfenner@ccgrammarschool.co.uk.
On Line Student Work Experience Application
(Working in partnership with EBP Kent)
The aim of work experience is to provide an experience of work, rather than just to try a particular job, although that can be included. The idea is to give you the opportunity to develop your transferable skills and just as with preparing to apply for courses or jobs, you need to prepare well beforehand.
The best work experience placements are those that you find yourself and if you would like something specific you will need to arrange your own.
In registration from the 18th September you will be given instructions of how to log in and will be making your four job sector choices for your work experience week. Monday 6th -Friday 10th July 2020.
We recommend that you view and discuss with your parents/guardians the job classifications and the distance you wish to travel before the log in date. You will be responsible for your own travel arrangements and costs.
Below you will find the list of job sectors. You are required to choose from this selection. You will be asked to choose in your order of preference 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th choice. You are allowed to select one pink job and one yellow job but you may select up to four green jobs. This must be done by 11/10/19
After you have logged in and made your choices you will need to print your form and take it home for your parents to sign and return ASAP to the Clarendon reception or Miss Haines in the library/resource centre.
If you are arranging your own placement it will be necessary to complete the appropriate form that can be found as a link below. Alternatively, students can ask for a form directly from Miss Haines in the library/Resource Centre.
All forms must be returned to the school by April 1st 2020
Please be aware that an independent arranged work experience placement without both public and employee insurances will require a signed disclaimer form from the parent/guardian which the school will provide.
