Having built up a network of local businesses willing to offer Year 10 and Year 11 long term work placements (up to 2 years) we have had many successful students completing the programme. Students study GCSE/BTEC during 2 days at school and spend 3 days in the work place.Great Barr School is one of the largest schools in Europe and we have around 50 students currently taking part on this programme. We have placements with Honda Collier, RSFleet, Willmott Dixon, Glendale Land Management, Sutton Park Rangers, Fosters of Birmingham, Sandwell Valley Riding Centre, Villa Cross Garage and in addition many local schools, hair salons and local garages etc.Many of our students have had a fantastic opportunity to sample different roles and some have gone on to secure apprenticeships and permanent positions with their work placements

39 wonderful years with WHS, working all over the country in different roles. 5 years at our then residential training college at Milton Hill, Oxfordshire and my last role as Area Manager covering North Wales, Staffordshire and West Midlands.
