Y13s secure interviews at Oxford and Cambridge
Congratulations to our largest ever group of Y13s who have secured interviews for courses at Oxford and Cambridge, and for Veterinary Sciences and Primary Education.
All our Y13s have had mock interviews in school recently, and some of our students are experiencing the real ones for these university courses soon. Good luck to James, Isaac F, Evie, Harry, Isaac H, Darisha, Hatty, Sam, Daniel, Alex and Jessica.
The Y13 Mock Interviews were a huge success with 100% of students finding the process to be very or extremely useful, and 98% indicated it helped build their interview confidence.
Students commented ‘I enjoyed the interview and feel as though it prepared me well for future employment.’
‘The interviewer provided me with a good insight into the future of work and what to start working on now.’
Employers commented 'Thank you for the feedback and the opportunity to support. I must confess, having coincidentally run a few interviews for actual posts at work since this event I can fairly and genuinely say that your students were incredibly impressive and would do well against a benchmark of many of the professionals I have interviewed this last two days. Really very impressive, confident students.' Matt, HSE Science Division
'I was very impressed by the students I saw on the day; they are a credit to your school. Many would make very good candidates to enter our workforce.' Michael, Sheffield Health and Social Care.
Special thanks to the employers, you make important experiences like this possible!
