Celebrating Max: Our Summer Placement Star!

We’re thrilled to celebrate one of our outstanding Year 11 students, Max, for his exceptional summer work experience at Babcock International in Plymouth. During his placement, Max had the opportunity to explore the inner workings of one of the UK's leading engineering companies.

Over the course of the week, he toured warships, visited a variety of workshops, and even had the chance to sit in on high-level meetings with senior staff. One of the highlights of his experience was being shown around a large ship set to be docked for a major three-year renovation before it heads back to sea.

Reflecting on his time at Babcock, Max said, "The whole experience was really eye-opening. I enjoyed exploring the different areas of work that Babcock offers, from engineering to shipbuilding, and I’m incredibly grateful to the staff for making it such an insightful and inspiring week."

Inspired by his time at Babcock, Max has already started making plans for his future. He shared, "I’m applying for an apprenticeship in electrical fitting at Babcock this November. I’m hoping to begin my apprenticeship after completing my GCSEs."

We are incredibly proud of Max for taking full advantage of this opportunity and for representing our school so well. We wish him the best of luck and are confident he’s on the path to success!
