This week,  400 of our Year 10 students took part in a Mock Interview Day, a fantastic opportunity to practice interview skills and gain confidence for the future. Each student sat a 15-minute one-on-one interview with a local employer, business professional, alumnus, or school governor.

The experience offered students a unique chance to engage in real-world conversations, test their communication skills, and reflect on their aspirations. Every student received personalised feedback to help them prepare for future interviews, whether for college, apprenticeships, or employment.

A huge thank you goes out to the fantastic volunteers who gave their time, energy, and expertise to support our students. Many commented on how impressive the students were, describing them as “a credit to themselves” and “excellent throughout.” Several volunteers returned for a second year, saying it was a pleasure to take part once again.

Well done to all involved, it was a day full of valuable lessons and inspiring moments.
