Block 1 of Work Experience Previous Work Experience

By Rebecca Perkins and Sarah Benzies

What happened?

For the 5th to the 13th of January in 2023, the Transition Year students of Manor House did their first block of work experience with the school.

Each student was given the task of finding a place to do their work experience, examples of these places are as shown below. We were given School permission slips and insurance forms to give to our employers.

What did Transition Years think?

To get some feedback about the Work Experience, we conducted a quick survey and asked students in Transition Year just two questions: What areas of work they did their experience in? and how much did they enjoy it?

The results to this are shown below…

• Blue: Hospitality/food

• Orange: Retail/clothing

• Green: Healthcare

• Red: Art/design

• Purple: Office work

• Brown: small business

• Pink: Teaching/schools

We also asked “Did you enjoy your work experience?” (1-not at all up to 5-really enjoyed the experience.)

The Average came in at a very positive 4.2
