Work Experience
Work Experience Entitlement
Under Section 123 of the Education (Scotland) Act 1980, school pupils are entitled to undertake a period of work experience from:
- 1st May in their S3 year if they are going to reach school leaving age either during their S4 year or at the end of the Christmas term of their S5 year.
This may mean a small number of pupils will be too young to undertake work experience after 1st May in their S3 year.
To sum up, pupils must be 14 as of 1st May in their S3 year to be able to take part in the Work Experience Programme at the end of S3 or in S4.
The legislative entitlement for work experience is two weeks. This is only an entitlement and schools should be flexible to meet the needs of individual pupils.
