Hi, my son is at Kingsdale and next September has the chance to do 2 weeks work experience. He is studying for GCSE Economics and is keen to learn more about the world of Investment Banking. Does anyone have any leads/contacts suggestions or advice for trying to get a placement.


Understandably most of their programmes are for graduates and above. He will be 15yrs.


Any pointers greatly appreciated.


Thanking you in advance.

get in touch with the banks directly.


I found this. It might give you some thoughts.


I would just get my son to call them, find out who to contact and them email/ phone them directly - send in a cv - what he's interested, what he does outside school etc etc. what he's hoping to gain - what he'd like to do in teh future, what drives him etc.


If nothing happens, contact them again, thank them and say you'll try again when he's in Y13....


It's competitive.

also don't let him get too disillusioned if they say no - unless they have a designated scheme it might be logistically difficult for them to take him -at my work we have very strict rules on when we have u16s doing work experience - in terms of what they can do, who they can go to meetings with etc from a child protection perspective.

    • Aleksandra was the driving force behind the conversion of what was a nice but very outdated house into what is now my beautiful, vibrant and modern home. I cannot recommend her enough- she was a pleasure to work with- she has an uncanny eye for detail and her sense of style is unparalleled. She knew where to push me beyond my “safe beige” colours but always kept my personality and preferences in mind. She sourced fabric / colours / lighting designs , she found local options for spectacular interior ideas in the kitchen , display cabinets , bathrooms , bedrooms and wardrobes. She never went beyond budget and was very timely in her execution. The result was a beautiful home that even after 8 years looks as stunning as it did when first put together. It is as liveable as it is beautiful and none of it would have been possible with Alexandra. I truly could not recommend her highly enough- there are few people with her work ethic and style. Thank you Alexandra !
    • The Lib Dems are against tightening visa requirements to live in the UK and against shrinking the university sector, and also (at least in Dulwich) against housing being built if it means that foreign students live in it. 🤷
    • Maybe once you have left and have nothing to lose, name and shame him on appropriate local forums? Assuming he doesn't have loads of mates who would then make life "difficult" for you,of course ......
