Each year we offer year 8 the opportunity to do Take your Sons to work day. This usually takes place in June.

This is a great chance to see the world of work in action. Student can go out to shadow parents, carers, extended family or family contacts. 

This year's students were out on placement on Tuesday 17th June 2025.

A great variety of placements were taken up from the airport, to the police, pwc, primary schools, and many more

Students that are unable to go out on placement will be in school that day, with school uniform and all normal equipment. 

 

 

 

On Tuesday 18^th June 2024 students in year 8 had their ‘take your sons to work day’ experiencing various workplaces with a parent/care/family member.

Students in school that day followed a plan of career planning and exploration, using our new careers platform Xello and reviewing some of the careers resources available in school. There was also a very imaginative activity around designing a product that could be sold linking to the Euros football.
