Sunita, 18, undertook responsibilities that included supporting children in their lessons, shadowing the teachers and working with children with a range of different abilities.

Sunita, who is studying A Level English Language, IT and Media, secured the placement through the Bury College dedicated work experience placement co-coordinator who provides students with work experience opportunities and allows students to gain skills for career progression.

The former Matthew Moss High School pupil said: “I am really glad I was given the opportunity to complete the work experience placement and liked the primary school environment. The placement improved my confidence and I now feel more independent.
