S3 Work Experience

 

The S3 pupils have been busy trying to arrange placements for their work experience.  This year it is taking place from 11th – 15th May.  Some pupils have found this tricky as, for a variety of reasons, many employers are unable to take school pupils that week. 

If you think that you could offer a placement to one of our pupils, we would be very grateful if  you could get in touch using this email address   workexperience@knox.elcschool.org.uk
