Our incredible Year 12 pupils have been out on work experience in a variety of placements gaining a valuable insight into life after Chase Terrace Academy!

The range of placements this year has been truly vast, and we would like to take this opportunity to not only thank our tenacious pupils for their efforts in securing these sought-after placements, but also to the range of employers for giving up their time to accommodate our pupils – including KPMG Birmingham, HSBC Birmingham, UAV Engines, the West Midland Ambulance Service, Lloyd Morgan Group, Taylor Wimpey, Burntwood Town Council, Keely Solicitors and National Memorial Arboretum to name but a few.

Mr Lloyd, Assistant Head of Sixth Form, said “This opportunity has not only given our pupils a long-term goal to aspire to as they enter Year 13 in September, but also a first-hand taste of what real work is like in their chosen career paths, before they commit to a university or apprenticeship course next year.”

Pupils have commented on how placements have allowed them to build up a network of contacts for future life and employment, but also add to their portfolio of experience in their CVs for the future. Well done Year 12!
