What is Beyond the Classroom?

Beyond the Classroom is how TRS makes sure you get involved in events and activities outside of your normal lessons that support you growing as an individual and learning about career options and opportunities.  Beyond the Classroom includes:

  1. Internal work experience placement in our Bulunga Café for all students
  2. External work experience placement at Communigrow Farm for Year 10
  3. External work experience placement with an employer for Year 10
  4. Workplace visits one day per term for Years 7 to 9
  5. Visits to College to experience and understand College life
  6. Visits to Universities to understand higher education
  7. Visits to local careers fairs
  8. Visits to events in support of the curriculum which may also include careers information
  9. Participation in timetable activities with external providers such as employers, charities, FE colleges, universities, training & apprenticeship organisations, Department of Employment and business federations.
  10. Applications to college and sixth form via Kent Choices for Years 10 & 11
  11. Mock interviews in preparation for college/sixth form/apprenticeship interviews for Year 11

Also, during Terms 1, 2, 3 and 4 local employers come in to school during period 5 and offer sessions around their businesses which you can take part in.  Many of the employers have their own business that they have started from scratch and they will take you on their journey; how they started, what worked and what didn’t, what they learnt and useful tips.  Alongside this they will teach you how to create or develop a marketable product to put theory into practice.
