Work experience offers a range of valuable benefits for children and young people, allowing them to gain insight into the world of work within a real-life environment. At Thornhill Primary School, we are committed to supporting students from other schools and colleges who wish to undertake their work experience with us.

Placements are offered on a first come, first served basis, and we make every effort to accommodate as many students as possible.

As safeguarding is a top priority at our school, we have established clear systems and procedures for managing work experience placements to ensure they are effective and secure.

Below is a 3-step procedure for anyone interested in undertaking work experience at Thornhill Primary School. If you require any assistance or support with the steps outlined, please don't hesitate to contact us.

Step 1: Submit an Enquiry

This can be via email to office@thornhillsch.net, in person, or by phone - 02380 449595. 

Step 2: Confirmation of Availability

If placements are available, we will request a confirmation letter from the student’s school or college to verify their suitability for work experience. Once all safeguarding checks are completed, we will confirm the work experience placement.

Step 3: Attend an Induction Meeting

The student will need to attend an induction meeting.
