Whether going on to a great college or 6th form, securing an apprenticeship, or entering the workplace, we want every child who leaves Ellis Guilford School to have the choice of some excellent opportunities. That is why, as well as academic excellence, we seek to provide valuable careers education and experiences for every child. 

In year 10, our children can experience the world of work for 5 days during our work experience week. The enables children to experience the world of work, develop their employability skills, and explore some of the careers areas that they might be interested in.

In the 2026/27 academic year, this work experience week will run from Monday 8th to Friday 12th February 2027. During tutor time, children will be shown how to write a professional email to employers requesting a placement and given access to Unifrog – the online system we use to ensure that all work experience placements are safe and registered.

Once you have agreed a work experience placement with an employer, the placement can be added to Unifrog. The video below shows how to do this.
