Work experience 1 week for history/classics student

[Kcowmey]

Hi - my son is in year 12 at St Dunstan?s college and has a week work experience from 8 June. He would love to carry out this work experience in the history/classics field like a museum for example. I?ve approached the British Museum but they can?t help.

School would give him references etc

Does anyone know anyone who can help?

Many thanks,

Kcowmey

It?s not the classics per say but these might have something:

How about approaching these smaller, but very interesting museums?

Sir John Soane?s Museum in Holborn (https://www.soane.org/)

Denis Sever's House in Spitalfields (www.dennissevershouse.co.uk)

Google south London museums and you'll find an interesting collection (I'm ashamed to say I'd never heard of several of them). Some of the smaller ones might be interested in help.

Thanks for the advice - will do so now! No joy yet with any of the other suggestions. People keep saying no to work experience. How are young people ever to get a taste of the work place?!
