InvestIN | The Ultimate Work Experience – InvestIN Education

Year 10 Work Experience – Monday 19th July to Thursday 22nd July 2027

As part of our Careers Education Programme, Year 10 children will have the opportunity to take part in Work Experience.  This will involve accompanying a parent, carer, relative or family friend to their place of work for four days.

Please note that this is to be arranged by you for your child and is not organised by Reigate School.

This is an excellent opportunity to show our children what is expected in the workplace, to consider the skills and qualities necessary for the world of work, and how these can be developed to instil the right attitude towards employment.

You will need to arrange for your child to accompany someone during normal working days from Monday 19th July to Thursday 22nd July 2027.  They will travel to and from work either with that person or independently, with your agreement and will be covered by the organisation’s Health and Safety regulations and insurance for the duration of the placement.

You can find answers to Frequently Asked Questions below.

ACTION REQUIRED:

It is important that we have all the necessary consents for your child to participate so we please ask that you complete the online form using the link below by Wednesday 16^th December 2026.

PARENTS' AND CARERS' CONSENT FORM – Fill in form

Please then forward the link below to the employer so they can agree to the terms and conditions.
