Charlotte Ellett

Supported teachers by assisting with various tasks throughout work experience.

Ensured pupil safety during sporting activities and maintained suitable environments for lessons.

Enhanced communication skills through interactions with pupils and enforcement of rules.

• Developed leadership abilities by structuring physical education lessons effectively.
• Improved organisational skills by managing transitions between classes and setting up new sports.
• Offered one-on-one guidance to struggling students for improved academic performance.

Beyond work experience, throughout my Acle Academy education, I assisted teachers multiple times, with open days, fundraisers, transition days and events. This allowed me to develop my organisation skills further and lend a helping hand, working with younger children and ensuring their comfort in an unfamiliar environment.

• This consisted of half a week of Work experience in assisting disabled individuals take care of animals and use occupational therapy to better their day-to-day lives. Throughout this work placement I was able to develop my understanding of the lives of people with special needs, which allowed me to become more respectful and it completely changed my perspective. This role taught me further skills on how to create a clean working environment, how to work calmly under pressure and how to work in a group environment. The experience of an organised, set routine and work hours allowed me to get a taste of a real working environment, preparing me for my later roles and jobs in the future. Each day I arrived at the Care Farm early, with all my required belongings, ready for the day, it taught me how to be organised and prepared for work. This led to me participating in weekly volunteer work throughout the summer of 2024, allowing me to lend a larger helping hand, and further engage in a working environment.
