NGHS is proud to offer a week-long work experience programme for both Year 10 and Year 12 students. Work experience provides an opportunity for students to gain valuable insight into the world of work, develop employability skills, explore potential career pathways, and gain first-hand experience of a particular role, organisation, or sector before making decisions about further study or future employment.

The programme is launched during the autumn term and placements usually take place during Curriculum Enrichment Week, which is held towards the end of June. Students are responsible for securing their own placements, with support and oversight provided by Miss Smith and Mrs Hazlett.

Parents and carers are required to complete a consent form as part of the process. This information will be shared directly with families once the programme has been launched.

NGHS uses the Unifrog Placements Tool to manage work experience placements. Full guidance on how to use the platform, along with key deadlines and instructions, will be shared with students and parents/carers when the programme launches each year.

In addition, the school has established a strong relationship with the Shrewsbury and Telford NHS Trust and in Year 12 we invite students who are interested in volunteering with the Trust for six months to apply for this opportunity. Once the scheme has been launched each year, applications can be made here: http://bttr.im/iwrhg
