The Flagpole

The NHS Live Virtual Work Experience Programme is now available to support all aspiring healthcare students with work experience opportunities during the pandemic. Students will have access to their own specific work experience programme, which will be highly relevant to the following healthcare careers:

• Nursing
• Midwifery
• Paramedics
• Physiotherapists
• Occupational Therapists
• Radiographers
• Art, Drama and Music Therapists
• Dietitians
• Operating Department Practitioners
• Radiographers
• Podiatrists
• Osteopaths
• Orthoptists
• Prosthetists and Orthotics
• Speech and Language Therapists

You can learn more and register for the programme here.

Places are limited and will be allocated on a first come first served basis, and will cost £10 per day to cover administrative costs. 

As you may know, we tried to launch the work experience programme for Year 10 last academic year, although for most pupils this became impossible as a result of the COVID situation. However a small number of pupils did manage to undertake a placement.

We are hoping that, if circumstances allow, work experience could take place in the summer of Year 11, as it traditionally has done.

If you are able to find a placement for your son or daughter, this would be an invaluable asset when considering future careers and UCAS applications.

If you can find a placement, or have done so already, please could you contact me on miketaylor@princethorpe.co.uk. I shall be posting our standard forms in the New Year.

Many thanks for your continued support, and best wishes for 2021.
