Work Experience

St. Anthony's Girls' School is committed to improving the employability of its pupils and in preparing them for the demands of adult and working life, and to enable them to contribute to society.  Pupils in Year 11 attend a one-week work experience placement in the last week of September.

St. Anthony's Girls' School believes that:

• Work Experience is an important and significant contribution towards the preparation of pupils for the adult world of work.
• Work Experience enables pupils to see the relevance of education to their future lives, and can be motivational, inspirational and have an affect on the indivudual's attitude to learning.
• Work Experience can help pupils make informed decisions regarding their post-16 pathway.
• Work Experience enables pupils to develop and enhance their qualities, skills, attitudes, and responsibilities in an educational and occupational context.
• Work Experience preparation is an essential part of the Year 10 and 11 Careers Education and Guidance tutorial and timetabled course.
• Work Experience allows pupils the opportunitiy to extend their knowledge and understanding of a working environment and can contribute to an increase in pupils' awareness of the labour market and employers' needs.
