The Old Princethorpians Committee is supporting the College to build a bank of Work Experience placement opportunities that represent as many career sectors as possible for our Year 10, 11 and Lower Sixth pupils.

In addition to enriching the College’s Careers Programme, it is hoped that many of these placements will be offered by OPs so as to strengthen the bonds between current and former Princethorpians and cement the Old Princethorpian Association as the vibrant, supportive and engaged community we know it to be.

Placements will occur during the school holidays, in person, and the duration can be anything from one day up to five; the key principle is quality over quantity.

The OP Committee is leading by example, having already offered placements of their own and begun to spread the word and engage OP networks. We invite you to partner with us in growing this bank of placements and establishing a community of OP Work Experience providers.

Are you able to offer a placement to one of our pupils, or do you work for a company who could? Perhaps you have a contact you think would be interested?

If you think you could help, or if you would simply like to find out more, please complete our short, no-commitment form, via the link below, or by scanning the QR code in the image, to submit your expression of interest. A member of the Careers team will be in touch with you directly to provide further information and answer any questions. Please also feel free to share this link with your contacts - OP or otherwise.

We are excited to see this initiative develop and, on behalf of all Princethorpe pupils, we thank you in advance for your support, whatever form that takes.

Warmest regards,

The OP Committee
