Work experience and volunteering
We encourage students to seek out their own work experience and volunteering opportunities after their GCSE exams in year 11 and in the sixth form. Volunteering provides the intrinsic reward of doing something worthwhile and helpful for others; allows personal growth in confidence, self-esteem, vital life-skills and competencies, as well as valuable content to make a CV stand out from the crowd.
