• Work Experience

  Tue 20 Feb 2024

  Work Experience placements form a vital part of our Careers programme at The Polygon School. Pupils are offered the opportunity to complete a, one week, block placement when they are in Year 10. This, following on from any employer encounters they may have experiences, forms their first opportunity in the world of work to see the structure of a working day and how a specific business operates.

   

  For some pupils this could also lead to another placement in a different employment sector or an extended placement with a successful workplace partner.

   

  We are lucky to work with many supportive businesses in the area that strive to give our pupils a positive experience when in their workplace. Many pupils return from their placement with knowledge of how the working day is structured, how operations in the workplace take place and knowledge of the business. Some decide what they want to do in the future, others decide that it isn’t the fit for them.

   

  All experiences are viewed as positive and a valuable learning experience for the pupils. We are grateful to the businesses who have worked with us this year and look forward to working with them again in the future.

   

  List of businesses we have partnered with:

  • Co-op
  • Southern Co-op
  • Sholing Services
  • Gleneagles Equestrian Centre
  • St Mark’s Primary School
  • Shirley Primary School
  • Jungle Jeans Play Centre
  • Carers Together Charity
  • Saints Foundation
