Year 12 Work Experience Week 

Year 12 students have been on work experience this week, which is designed to help them make decisions about their next steps. We have been particularly impressed with the resourcefulness shown by students, who have sourced a wide range of placements including nurseries, law firms, dental practices, the Hippodrome, Thinktank Museum, doggy day care and charity shops, to name just a few. During the week students have had the opportunity to build on their knowledge and experiences whilst also speaking directly with professionals already working in their chosen field. 

As the week draws to a close, we are immensely proud of how students have arranged placements and developed character skills of respect, positivity, resilience and integrity, all with a love of learning new things. We are really looking forward to hearing all about it after half term and helping to guide students with their decisions and applications for life after Sutton Girls.
