Work EXPERIENCE

Work Experience takes place in both Year 10 and Year 12.

The dedicated work experience weeks for the current academic year are as follows:

Year 10 - 22nd-26th June 2026

Year 12 - 29th June-3rd July 2026

With the support of the school, students are encouraged to find their own placement in an employment sector that is of interest to them. Students are given advice on how to go find a placement and health and safety issues as part of this programme. 

If you work for an organisation that you feel may be able to support our students with work experience please contact our Head of Careers, Natasha Kinder at nkinder@urmstongrammar.org.uk
