Year 10

In Year 10 pupils build on their existing careers and enterprise knowledge and skills and are involved in a number of activities to get themselves ready for the world of work. All students take part in mock interview sessions that are delivered by external employers and have the chance to work with the external providers to polish their CV’s. 

Pupils receive information on the range of FE and HE options available to them through presentations delivered on degree apprenticeships and studying at university. 

In year 10 all students are required to practice the skills involved in gaining employment by researching, sourcing and applying for a one week work experience placement which will be held during Challenge Week. They have the opportunity to spend one week immersed in a career of their choice. This is a privileged opportunity for students which not all schools provide. We find that students are valued by the employers who also gain from having a student on placement and the students find the experience invaulable. The feedback received by employers and students is always overwhelmingly positive and NHGS places a high value on the experience for students.

Students take part in First Give which aims to inspire young people to make a positive change in society and is designed to ignite a spark of social conscience in young people.
