MCHS Wider Participation Pupil Questionnaire

As a school community, we wish to celebrate the enthusiasm and successes our pupils enjoy out with the classroom. In order to do so, we are working to gain more information about the wide and varied range of activities that our young people participate in.

Please ask your child to complete the short questionnaire that can be accessed using the QR code.

This information will support staff in getting to know more about your child. This is different to the questionnaire that pupils completed in class this week.

We are also including interactive booths with downloadable career resources and for the first time we will be holding a Round Table Networking Discussion Group.

Virtual Work Experience

Springbod’s latest cohort of Virtual Work Experience programmes have their application deadlines approaching soon.

There’s a wide variety of programmes on offer ranging from medicine and law to engineering and dentistry with everything in between. As always, these experiences are completely free and can be completed in the students’ own time once they’re enrolled onto a programme. Young people have the chance to engage with industry professionals during the live webinars in our experiences. This gives them the chance to get a feel for the reality of the roles they’re learning about which is something we often hear from students they feel is lacking in other work experience placements; both in person and online.

We’ve compiled all of our latest experiences into one pdf document which you can access here.

See your Pupil Support teacher if you are applying.
