Work experience outfit, help!

[Chloe-Elise]

I'm going for work experience in a school soon and I've got no idea what to wear! Please help!

Dont go over the top, just get a few pairs of black trosers, with different cuts, and maybe a few pin strips, then some shirts. I wouldn't bother with a proper fitting jacket, as you'll look too formal. After all, you've just got to look smart, not formal

[Cornishbabe]

is it a primary or secondary school?

[willsmummy]

I used to be a school teacher. I think black trousers and a casual shirt or smart jumper will do fine. You don't need to go too over the top, as you will want to be comfortable. A long skirt would also be fine. I think you would be best to stick to black trousers and a plain jumper/shirt for the first day, and then see what everyone else is wearing, and take it from there.

i did my work experiance in a primary school. many years ago!!!
the main thing i can say is be comfy and smart

[di marco]

i did my work experience at a primary school. i was told not to wear jeans or other denim stuff, such as denim skirts and denim jackets, and that shoes with a big or thin heel werent suitable either. like other people have said, just wear a smart pair of black trousers and a shirt, or just some smart trousers and a smart top. also, if you will be helping the same class the whole week, ask what day they do pe on cos i was allowed to wear a tracksuit in on that day

m doing work experience in a primary school. I wear jeans and no one minds

[willsmummy]

Also, if you are with little ones, wear something you don't mind getting paint splatted on!!!!!!! When I was teaching, I always made sure I was wearing something oldish on art day!!!!!!!

I think you could get away with smart jeans with some black boots, but I think it's probably best to stick with some smart trousers and plain top to start with.

i used to be a nursery nurse before i had connor, wear something really comfortable you wil spend alot of time on the floor playing and something that you dont mind getting dirty as there is a lot of things like sand water, paint playdough that can be really messy you nevre know what could be done on what day. i just used to wera my jeans or black trousers depends what type of nursery you working in most are just casual dress

[nicole28]

Just wear anything clo! Be yourself!

[annaz]

I suggest some comfy, smart clothes. Also, I would suggest flat shoes for chasing kids with and you'll probably be walking about a lot. Also, some clothes that can be easily washed. No one wants acrillic paint splattered all over suede boots!

[Pinkbanana]

flat shoes and comfortable clothing.

No pointy high heels, because it you stand on a child, you might impale them on one of your heels!!! lol Seriously, have seen the result of an accident with a teaching assistant in high heels and a small child! Not pleasant!!! :eek:

Yeah, work experience is usually in May of each year. It could be helpful for future reference of another member though.
