Information for Business

Our students are an amazing bunch! They come from a wide range of backgrounds, most living very locally to the school and possess a very wide range of academic ability and non-academic skills. We teach students from Year 7, (aged 11) to Year 11, (aged 16). We welcome voluntary business support, and especially value help with the following events:

Event	Year Group	Description	Approximate date(s)
Assembly Talks	Year 7 / 8	Short talks to inspire students and widen knowledge about specific roles.	All year
Breakfast Drop In	All Years	Short talks or drop ins at breakfast time, to inspire students and widen knowledge about general career areas, specific roles, training or courses.	All year
Mock Interviews	Year 10	A basic practice interview for each student held as part of a day of employability skills.	November
Work Experience	Year 10	All students are expected to arrange a week out in a work placement of their choice.	July

Advice concerning allowing young people in the work place can be found on the Health and Safety Executive website.

If you are able to help out with any of these events, or would be keen to come along and hold a breakfast time talk or drop in to advise students about your area of work, career area in general or when you have any apprenticeship or voluntary opportunities, please contact Ryan Jordan-Steele in the Careers Department on Tel: 01452 720458 ext 210 or Email: rjordansteele@severnvaleschool.com
