Talking About Myself

Wow, our Mock Interview Days on 4th and 6th March were honestly brilliant! 🎉

Over those two days we had up to 35 awesome volunteers from all kinds of jobs come into school and give up their time to help out. They ran one-to-one mock interviews with around 600 of our Year 8 and Year 10 students, using proper questions that feel just like the real thing for jobs or college applications.

The volunteers went way beyond just asking the questions — they gave such kind, useful feedback, pointed out what the students nailed, and shared really practical tips on sounding more confident, giving stronger answers and just coming across even better.

It was the perfect safe space for the kids to practise, and you could see it on their faces afterwards — huge smiles, relief, and a real sense of pride.

A massive thank-you to every single volunteer who made these days so special. Your time, your know-how and your encouragement genuinely mean the world to our students and will stick with them for ages.
