post 18 & mock interview day for year 12

Today Miss Lingwood, Mr Neale and the Sixth Form Team organised a full-day programme of events for Year 12, designed to give them the opportunity to access invaluable interview experience with professionals in their chosen fields, and to participate in a range of interactive workshops facilitated to guide, support, and inspire them in their next steps, and to optimise their preparations and applications for university places, and for their professional pathways moving forward.

Head of Year Mr Neale shares that there has been a great deal of positive feedback on today's event, firstly from visiting representatives, who praised our Year 12 students for the commitment, knowledge, effort, and conduct that they demonstrated today; and secondly from the students themselves, on the day's enriching and impactful experience.

Mr Neale is understandably incredibly proud of them all. Well done!

With huge thanks to all our visiting speakers, representatives and interviewers who gave their time to greatly benefit our students today, and to enrich their practical learning experience, and their academic and professional development and prospects; to Henry from Lancaster University; to the staff who delivered workshops; and to the Sixth Form Team for creating this fantastic opportunity for Year 12.
