Employers & Work Experience Opportunities

The Crypt School is a dynamic and forward thinking school.  Approximately 70% of our Year 13 students progress to university, whilst the remaining 30% pursue the Apprenticeship or employment route, with a few seeking a Gap Year.  We currently work with a range of local and national employers, both on a formal and informal basis.  We have a wide range of companies who support our careers Insights Programme, which runs in terms 5 and 6, as well as local and large multinational companies help with our year 8 and 9 employer engagement activities.  We are also grateful to the businesses that accommodate our year 10 and year 12 students on their work placements during the school year.

As a school we believe passionately in developing meaningful and sustainable links with businesses, where a real impact can be made on our students' learning and careers progression.  For example, we have two local engineering and aerospace companies who are regular visitors in school, who mentor and support our Lego programme and work with potential engineers of the future.  We also work closely with a wealth management business, who support our students with opportunities to enhance their CVs.

We are always looking to develop new relationships and would be delighted to talk to any business organisation who would like to work with us and our students.  We welcome positive feedback as well as feedback to allow us to move forward and shape what we do better.  Please do not hesitate to contact Chris Germaine, careers Leader - cgermaine@crypt.gloucs.sch.uk
