Year 10 Planning for the future!

Year 10 have taken part in lots of opportunities and experiences in the summer term. Two of note, have been work experience and a day in the life of a college student at Woking College.

Work Experience - 27^th June -1^st July

For the first time in a few years the school embarked on work experience. Parents, students, and the school, all worked together to help the students find placements they would enjoy and benefit from throughout the week. Ms Smyth, our careers advisor, worked particularly hard to ensure every child had an opportunity that week.

The feedback from the week has been incredible. The positive comments from employers were overwhelming and every student and parent should be so proud of their effort throughout that week. Employers praised their organisation, their politeness and respect, their ability to solve problems and their kindness towards others. All skills and competencies we all work hard to promote and instil within them.

If you would like more information at all with careers, please do contact Ms Smyth who would be happy to assist and there is a careers portal on Frog with more information.

Woking College Event - 8^th July

Year 10's second experience included a visit to Woking College as part of their transition to Colleges and Sixth form for September 2023. Year 10 experienced college life, wearing their own clothes and completing five different KS5 classes that they choose.

Students really enjoyed the day and got a lot from the experience. It gave them a lot to think about such as where they want to be in a year's time and what courses they want to choose. The principal of the college Brett was very impressed with the Year Group and they continued to enhance the reputation of the school in the borough.

There will be college and sixth form open days in the Autumn/Winter term, and it will be important to be aware of when those are to help your child make the most informed choice next academic year.

Year 10 have set themselves up so well for Year 11 and beyond. A fantastic effort from all.
