Apologies for the very late reply, for some reason this didn't appear on my bookmarks.
I'm not so sure to be honest. I've heard some drivers have had their kids do work experience in conjunction with school when they were in year 10, but I think the age might be 16 due to health and safety reasons. Mine was done in conjunction with college firstly, but then in the summer I did it voluntarily. My college course however included work experience as part of the course, so you had to do two weeks before the easter holidays, so I basically had a 4 week easter break as this was more fun than work . In your case though, it's best to check if your school allows time for work experience to be carried out and then go from there.
In university though, my course includes a full year of a work placement in my third year, no doubt I'd either be doing this for a bus or train company!
I know my school does work experience but not sure if its y10 or 16 like you said.I'm in y10 next year so will go and ask about it.Would be nice doing it during school time (from memory my school does it in september according to school calendar) and if its amazing enough and I can do it then I will do it during the holidays aswell
Thanks again,will find this post and thread useful if(hopefully) doing work experience at the garage
