Year 11 Mock Interviews
On the 7th and 8th of October, our Year 11 pupils participated in mock interviews designed to prepare them for the next stages beyond Woodlands.
The interviews helped pupils develop their confidence and communication skills. The interviewers were highly impressed with the pupils' professionalism. Many pupils also established valuable connections within their chosen career fields.
