Mock Interview Evening 2019
On Tuesday 9th April our Year 10 pupils took part in the Mock Interview Evening at Bury Town Hall. Each pupil completed a 15 minute interview with an employer in a formal setting. At the end of the interview our pupils were given specific feedback about their interview. Prior to the evening, all Year 10 pupils took part in a Mock Interview Evening Preparation Deeper Learning Day. They learnt how to write a CV and cover letter and had to produce this for the employer during their interview. During the Deeper Learning Day pupils also took part in an interview skills workshop. The evening was a fantastic success and a crucial part of our pupils educational experience. The interviewers were extremely impressed with the professionalism of our pupils and many of our pupils felt that the experience and feedback they received during the evening will allow them to be more confident in future interviews. Well done Year 10!

World Book Day is Thursday March 7th! There are lots of events happening which pupils can get involved in: Dressing Up! Everyone is invited to come to school dressed as a favourite character. This could be from a book, comic or fairy tale. Pupils who dress up receive the added bonus of an early lunch on the day. Form Competition! Decorate form doors to represent a favourite book! One form will win from each year group- the most creative entries will win! The Great Literary Bake Off! Baking competition where entries should have a book theme. For example: Bruce Bogtrotter’s chocolate cake from Matilda or The Queen of Heart’s jam tarts. Entries will be judged with prizes for the winners. Character Treasure Hunt! Try to find the different book characters around school from the clues given. Prizes for those who manage to find them all. Anonymous Books! Donate any unwanted books from home that someone else could read. These books will be wrapped up with a tag that describes what the book is about without revealing the title or author, this way no one can ‘judge the book by its cover’.
