Year 11 Mock Interviews 2026

This week, our Year 11 students participated in Mock Interviews as part of their preparation for future applications, further education, and careers pathways.

Through the support of Leicestershire Cares, students were given the opportunity to take part in realistic interview experiences with professionals from a range of organisations. These mock interviews provided valuable insight into the recruitment process and helped students develop their confidence, communication skills and interview techniques.

The feedback from our visitors was overwhelmingly positive, with interviewers highly impressed by the professionalism, maturity and engagement demonstrated by many of our students. Comments include:

• "Well-articulated responses"
• "Calm and confident"
• "Polite"
• "Excellent communication"
• "Good body language and eye contact"
• "Good first impression"

We would like to thank all of the interviewers and Leicestershire Cares for giving their time to support our students and help prepare them for their future aspirations.

The mock interviews also proved to be a valuable experience for our students. Here are some of their reflections:

• "My interviewer was extremely welcoming and approachable and she gave me very helpful feedback"
• "My interviewer was really nice and made me feel confident when answering questions"
• "I went in nervous, but as the interview progressed, I came out feeling confident and with good advice"
• "I enjoyed the experience and the ability to truly understand what the interviewer is looking for from the feedback"

Well done Year 11!
