Work Experience

In July, we had 45 students in school while others were on placement. They completed activities that helped them to develop their employability skills, character, and learn more about the construction sector.

The day was planned by BAM so that the students would design a sustainable school, but when the lead couldn’t make it in to us, the teaching staff at Wrotham really stepped up! It was a very different way of teaching with BAM joining us virtually and the staff taking on different roles to help it run. Special mention to Ben Fuller, Emily Greigg and others for rearranging one of the sessions, but still making sure teams demonstrated the right skills, and were assessed to earn points.

Today, the winning teams got to visit the new school and were overhead saying ‘I’m so excited!’ to each other and the questions were brilliant.

That’s another 9 work experience placements right there, including for some young carers and students with SEND
