Y12 Work Experience

  By
Our Year 12 students took part in a week’s  work experience during June/July. The aim of year 12 work experience is for students to gain experience in the sector they hope to work in after they have completed their full time education.
For this reason, students were encouraged to find their own placements to fit with their individual career ideas or as close to their ideas as possible.
There has been a wide range of placements including:
Education and Pre School,  Archaeology,  Animal Care,  Sport,  Architecture, Marketing, and Health Care.
A number of our students secured ward based placements at Lincoln County Hospital through the Talent Academy, another two students, hoping to become GPs have secured  placements with local surgeries.
 Further to these placements, one student whilst on placement with the Maths & Physics faculty at the University of Lincoln wrote a blog which is being published on their website, the blog is called ‘Is the science of Stranger Things accurate?’  please see the link below:
https://studyphys.wordpress.com/2026/07/03/is-the-science-of-stranger-things-accurate/
These photos show some of the amazing opportunities our students had whilst on placement.
A big thank you to all of the employers who supported us with our work experience programme.
