It is really important that your timetable isn't regularly affected by any work experience.
If you would like to attend any sessions that do conflict with lessons and are a maximum of one day, a permission slip can be obtained through sian.roberts@blackpoolsixth.ac.uk which needs to be agreed upon firstly by your teachers and then head of department to be released from lesson.
Any longer term or block placements (placements that would require more than a day) should be arranged in holidays and/or weekends so as to reduce the disruption this causes to learning.
