Top marks for Year 10 Work Experience!

After their week’s Work Experience last term, Year 10 students were asked to complete a self-review evaluation sheet where they rated eleven statements on a 1 – 5 scale between ‘Completely agree’ and ‘Completely disagree’.  Looking at their responses, 86% of students either strongly or completely agreed that they had enjoyed their placements.  In reviewing how their work-related skills had developed as a result of their Work Experience, students rated even more highly how they had learned to work with adults they did not previously know and their ability to cope with new situations.  Furthermore, 80% of students either strongly or completely agreed that they had learned about what it is like to be employed and that they had increased in confidence, become more independent and learned new skills.
