We are a large secondary school of roughly 1300 pupils. We have learners in Years 7 to 13. We offer a broad range of subjects both in the lower school and sixth form.
We are an inclusive school with a family feel that aims to provide the best education for our pupils as well as a nurturing environment.
About our school experience

At Park Hall, work experience placements take place on Fridays only. Candidates will be allocated a specific date to attend and will follow a planned departmental timetable, which may include observing lessons, spending time with department staff, and learning more about teaching and school life.
At the booking stage, it would be helpful if you could indicate a few dates that you are available on Fridays so that we can allocate you to the most suitable placement date.
If you are unable to attend on Park Hall’s designated day, you are welcome to apply to one of the other schools within the Trust on their allocated work experience days:
Arden – Monday and Wednesday
Lode Heath – Tuesday
Henley – ThursdayMembers of the Initial Teacher Training Team or Senior Leadership Team may also meet with you during the day to discuss routes into teaching, applications, and teacher training opportunities.
Work experience placements require significant planning and coordination across the school. We therefore expect full attendance on the agreed date. Please note that cancellations or non-attendance cause considerable disruption, and we are unable to offer alternative dates in these circumstances.

Placement availability
We offer work experience on Fridays during term time.
Please be aware that organising work experience placements in a busy school requires significant time and coordination from multiple members of staff. For this reason, applicants must be very clear about their availability before confirming a booking, and we expect a full commitment to the agreed date. Cancellations and non-attendance cause considerable disruption to the school, and we are unable to rearrange placements in such circumstances. If there is any uncertainty about your availability, this must be resolved prior to confirming your placement.
