Please complete this form detailing the dates that your students will be participating on Work Experience for the academic year 2016 – 2017. Once we have received the dates for work experience from all schools, we will then contact you if your chosen dates fall into those weeks that have a high demand of schools seeking placements. This will afford your school the opportunity to make any amendments to your chosen dates in preference for those weeks with a low demand for work placements. High demand weeks lead to a lower supply of placements per school – the provision by employers does not necessarily increase – eg; it will still be 1 student per hospital ward or 1 student in a leisure centre no matter how many schools looking for places.
