Work Experience

“More than 80% of young people felt they were more attractive to employers following work experience or an employer-led placement and around 75% of work experience participants said it had provided them with new skills and increased their confidence”

Work experience is completed by students in years 10 for one week during the summer term. This year’s dates are: 29th June to 3rd July 2026.

If you can offer a work placement in the future to one of our students, please contact Mrs Paterson (Epaterson@babingtonhouse.com)

Timely support

As well as regular careers sessions, students are supported at crucial times when important decisions must be made, this includes choosing their GCSE options in Year 9 and deciding on post 16 and post 18 plans.
