Work Experience

Year 10 & 12 Work Experience 2026-27

The Government has placed renewed emphasis on the importance of Work Experience. At Bosworth Academy, students have the opportunity to go on a 1 week work experience placement during school time in both Years 10 and 12.

Students need to find their own placement in an area that interests them or will help them to develop their skills. It is important to start looking for a placement as early as possible as there can be a lot of competition later in the year.

Placement Dates:

  • Year 10: 14/6/27 – 18/6/27
  • Year 12: 21/6/27 – 25/6/27

To support this process, we will be using an app called Unifrog. This platform allows students and parents to easily add contacts, manage placements, and track applications all in one place.

When an employer has agreed a placement, the student must log it on Unifrog. They have been given log in details for this. Please double check that the employer details are entered correctly as incorrect details can mean the employer doesn’t receive their paperwork!

Once the employer completes their section, the named parent will be automatically emailed to give permission.

Please ensure that placements are logged on Unifrog by Easter.
