Year 10 students are pictured with their certificates from 15billionEBP for successfully completing work experience during October’s Half Term holiday week.

15billionebp brings together schools, employers and other partners to inspire young people to achieve their potential and thrive in their careers.

The 28 students used the week’s break from school to work for a variety of employers, including Doctors’ surgeries, Accountancy and Law firms, Pharmacies, Garages and Retail organisations.

They picked up new skills, built contacts, gained confidence and discovered what it was like to work in a real job. Invaluable skills.

Feedback from both employers and students was extremely positive.

Mrs Raja, our Careers’ Adviser said she was really impressed with the students’ enthusiasm and motivation.

Mr McCormack presented the students with their certificates on January 25.
