Work Experience


Work Experience for Year 10 and Lower Sixth Students 2024:


We are really pleased to be able to offer students the opportunity to take part in work experience during June and July 2024. The work experience dates have been set around key activities in school and to avoid clashes with other schools and sixth forms looking for work experience placements.


The dates have been set as:

Bay House Year 10 - a full week, five day placement from 17 to 21 June 2024

Bay House Lower Sixth - a five day placement from 1 to 5 July 2024

The Link Year 10 - a two week placement W/C 13 May & 20 May


Full details have been sent to parents and students by email. If you have any queries or require a further copy, please contact careers@gfmat.org.


We would encourage all Year 10 and Lower Sixth students to take part in this opportunity. 

Students are responsible for finding their own work experience placement by approaching companies directly.


Deadlines for submitting the online form: 

Year 10 work experience forms needs to be submitted by Friday 19 April 2024.

Lower Sixth forms need to be submitted by Friday 3 May 2024. 


Students choosing not to go out on work experience for any reason will be expected to attend school, in full uniform and take part in timetabled lessons.
