As part of our careers programme, Year 10 pupils will be invited to take part in mock interviews with local employers. This is organised through our partnership with Carol Codner, our Careers and Enterprise Advisor.
Activities such as these are great examples of how we support our pupils achieving Gatsby benchmark 5 which is about having positive encounters with employers. The interview will also provide personal guidance for our pupils which targets Gatsby benchmark 8.
This morning, Carol delivered an assembly to year 10 in preparation for their mock interviews. We discussed the importance of organising ourselves effectively for interview, body language and general presentation.
Year 10 will take part in mock interviews in February, so pupils have time to prepare themselves fully for their appointment.
