Year 10 mock interview day last Friday huge success!
Back
"I very much enjoyed my day. I have worked in HR for 30 years and I was impressed with your students. You would be surprised how few people can shake hands, smile, sit straight and look at you! The students were taking this very seriously and had been well prepared. They all could tell me 3 strengths and a weakness and answer the other questions.

"I really enjoyed this experience and could see directly the benefit the students were getting from it. They were a credit to you all, and were engaged, polite and enthusiastic."

"I just wanted to write to say how much I enjoyed the mock interview process with the year 10s last Friday. It was an absolute pleasure to meet the students. You must be so proud of them all. Their ability to communicate effectively was fantastic. They identified their points for improvement, the challenges they have faced in their lives with such maturity. I was blown away by their honesty and bravery with what they shared with me and how insightfully they talked about difficulties they had overcome. I was also very impressed with all the opportunities that the school has offered them and encouraged them to be involved with. These extra curricular opportunities had clearly enriched their skills and helped them to build confidence, self-esteem and inter-personal skills, importantly, they had also given them interesting experiences to share and talk about.
I felt, yet again, what a great school Cheney is and how glad I am that my son chose it as his secondary school.
I look forward to taking part again next year!"
