Real World Learning (RWL)
Our work experience programme for students is very unique. Starting at ages 14-15, students spend half a day a week in a workplace, for a term and a half. Our students and their host organisations work on a project that is more meaningful and authentic than traditional work experience. This way, they combine head, heart and hand – applying knowledge, learning self-confidence and developing skills.
Many organisations are already benefiting from the Real-World Learning Project, through working with and managing young people and gaining a diverse perspective and input on their work.
If you would like your organisation to be involved, get in touch with Esther Coppeard – ecoppeard@school21.org.uk.
