Job/Apprenticeship/University Opportunities

Part time job opportunities

Whilst a student is of compulsory school age (students in Years 7 – 11) there are restrictions as to the type of part time work they can do, and the number of hours that are permitted. The local newspaper online advertises jobs that are available for students.

Volunteering opportunities

If you are interested in volunteering, please talk to Mrs Price.

Apprenticeship opportunities

Students can search for Apprenticeship opportunities on the National Apprenticeship Vacancy Service, and on employers own websites. Higher and degree apprenticeship listings are also published here on a regular basis.

Apprenticeships are advertised throughout the year and some of the larger companies / more competitive opportunities will be advertised in the Autumn term for a start date of the following September. It is therefore extremely important to undertake a search for opportunities regularly throughout Year 11, starting at the beginning of the academic year. We will publish details of any opportunities advertised directly to the school here and make them available on the tv screens in school.

Other opportunities

There are many other opportunities open to school / college students throughout the year including University open days, summer schools and taster sessions. We also hear about scholarship opportunities from time to time. We will publish any such opportunities here.
