Work Experience in Bishop Luffa School
Bishop Luffa provides Work Experience for all Year 10 pupils for one week in February and one week in July for Yr12.
The aim of our Work Experience Scheme is to introduce pupils to the world of work, and not necessarily towards a vocation. The time provides the pupil with a continuous spell in a working environment and the opportunity to gain first hand knowledge of what any particular job entails and allows pupils to demonstrate and record employability skills which cannot be achieved in the school environment. Work Experience can also therefore help greatly towards gaining social skills as well as being an aid to a choice of suitable career.
Bishop Luffa’s Work experience has real value in the personal and social development of the pupil. It may be the first time that people are treated as adults and it gives them an opportunity to take on responsibilities that they may have to assume in employment themselves.

Young Enterprise in Bishop Luffa School
Young Enterprise offers a range of programmes, based on the principle of Learning by Doing, which brings volunteers from business into the classroom to work with teachers and students. This programme enable students to work together to run their own real company for one academic year.

Careers in Bishop Luffa School
Choosing a career can be very satisfying if you have made the right choice. Like the famous adage goes, if you choose the job you love, you don’t have to work a single day in your life. On the other hand, a wrong decision can leave you wishing that you had trodden a different path.
While doing a career search it is imperative to have the correct career information. An informed choice is always a better bet than an uninformed one. The right career advice can help you to choose a career to suit your personality as well as your aspirations.
Education, of course, plays an important role in getting you the right job in your chosen field. The stepping stones or pre-requisites for choosing your dream career are of course, the qualifications required to achieve it. With the right qualifications, the top careers are open to you and the power of choice would be with you.
The choice of the university is vital as well, as each one differs in its outlook and approach. The choice offered by various universities is also vast; with some of them offering Associate Degrees and online degrees, which make pursuing the requisite qualifications that much easier.
