Students from Littlehampton Academy gain work experience with Barratt Homes

Barratt Homes were delighted to welcome students from The Littlehampton Academy this week to their Cissbury Chase development in Worthing, West Sussex, in order for them to gain valuable experience on a building site and try their hands at bricklaying.

Steve Craig, site manager for Barratt Homes Cissbury Chase, commented: “It was a pleasure to welcome the students and their tutor from Littlehampton Academy. They were given an induction into life on a building site, including the health and safety aspects, and even got to try bricklaying. I think this was a positive experience for all who attended and maybe one or two of them will have future aspirations to choose the building industry as their career path.”

Jennifer Littlejohn, a Construction Teacher from Littlehampton Academy, said: “Our invite from Barratt Homes to experience the many trades associated with a building site was a great success. The students learned an awful lot in a short space of time thanks to the site manager, Steve, and his co-workers and many of the students’ conversations since have centred on their induction day. A number of the students, as a result of this visit, are now determined to seek careers within the construction industry.”

Cissbury Chase brings to the market a selection of two, three and four bedroom properties, offering contemporary build quality and innovative design. Each property will enjoy bright and roomy living areas, generous outdoor spaces and green outlooks. Launched in November 2013, Barratt Homes look forward to welcoming the first residents in late spring, early summer.
