Thank you to all the companies who have already offered work placements for this year's students. Work experience is often the first introduction young people have to the world of work and is a great opportunity for them to practise the skills they will need to be successful in the future. If you are interested in offering a week's work experience placement to a student please contact Wendy Woods on 01635 277483.
On March 8th 2011, over 100 West Berkshire Businesses, students and school staff were invited to New Greenham Arts to celebrate the positive impact of Work Experience on students and their placement providers during this academic year.
