Year 11
Welcome to Year 11.
Pupils in Year 11 begin the year preparing for their work experience. This includes developing their knowledge and understanding of health and safety within the work place. This knowledge and understanding is furthered by studying the Certificate in preparation for working life. Practical aspects of this course include taking part in mock interviews, writing a letter of application and creating a CV. Pupils continue to complete their common application form for entry into further education as well as developing aspects of personal finance, tax and banking and budgeting.
All pupils in year 11 leave with a detailed progress file, as part of this process pupils complete a personal statement, illustrate their development of key skills, and develop an action plan for the future.
