Our brilliant Cheney School year 11 work experience group: they walked for miles, planted trees, got soaked in the rain, reviewed the new installations at the Museum of Natural History, helped out with a project at another schools, and learned about bird research, all in 4 days. And what’s more they were polite, fun, willing to engage, happy to learn and generally typically wonderful teenagers. Thanks guys! Really enjoyed your company.

If you want to do work experience at Wytham, please email kim.polgreen@admin.ox.ac.uk and we will see if we can help you. We take groups of students - from 6 - 8 at once. The hours are 10am - 2pm (sometimes 2.30pm), Monday to Thursday. We find that these hours are plenty, given that students have to travel to and from the Woods, and it can be tiring with quite a lot of walking, and some physical work.
