FinanceIt costs the school £58.50 for every work experience placement found by a student.

If you don’t find your own placement itcosts the school £75.00 to find you a placement.

If you decide to do two placements of one week each – then we will need to pass on the additional cost of £58.50 on to you.

It is very, very important that you return the forms to me in E7 by the closing date of 18th September or it might delay your placement.

It is also time consuming to have to chase you for the completed forms!

You have one form to complete, I have to check all of them!
