Our Masterclass programme delivers dynamic, hands-on workshops that equip students with the confidence and essential skills needed to excel in interviews, presentations, public speaking, and in their interactions with others. Each session is designed to be practical, engaging, and immediately relevant, helping students see the real-world impact of these skills today and in their future.
Navigating interviews and being able to speak confidently in front of others is challenging, especially for teenagers who may struggle with self-confidence or lack positive role models to look up to. However, with our dynamic, tailored instruction and guidance, students develop the confidence needed to approach these situations skilfully, improving their performance and increasing their chances of success.
M10 Masterclasses and the Represent Programme are designed to equip students with essential life skills that are valuable both now and in the future. They address the challenges, fears, and common mistakes people make when preparing to present themselves to others, in conversation and interviews. M10 programmes provide students with invaluable insights and enhanced preparation for both their current academic journey and their future endeavours.
Whilst masterclasses are designed for smaller groups of students, our Represent programme is a careers drop-down day for Year 10.
Every student experiences 5 workshops delivered by industry professionals to begin to equip them with the skills and understanding needed for the world of work.
Represent drop-down days are generously supported by WAVE UTILITIES,
offering a limited number of FULLY FUNDED places to schools in Tyne and Wear.

M10 Masterclasses offer dynamic tools and strategies that empower students to thrive. Led by experts, each session builds upon the last, ensuring that every new insight and skill is meaningful, impactful, and sets the stage for ongoing success in the present and future.
During this session, students will practically engage in an in-depth exploration of positive character traits and develop the skills to effectively support their answers with concrete evidence or examples. We delve into the crucial need for self-awareness, and the significant influence that self-perception can hold on the formation of our identity.
In this session, we focus on the five most critical techniques for utilising body language effectively. We begin by discussing how to make a strong first impression through nonverbal communication and move on to strategies for maintaining positive body language throughout interactions. Finally, we explore techniques for ending an interaction on a positive note through effective use of nonverbal cues. The goal of this session is to help students improve their communication skills and better understand the role that body language plays in social interactions.
During this session, students will have the opportunity to deliver a short presentation. They will gain insights from examples of an effective presentation as well as one that illustrates common pitfalls to avoid. Students apply the techniques and strategies they have acquired in previous sessions to confidently convey their message. Students will be provided with constructive feedback and their peers will offer valuable perspective through a peer evaluation process.
Throughout this session, we focus on strategies for effective interview preparation and practice. Building on the knowledge and skills acquired in previous sessions, students develop the ability to confidently promote themselves verbally while using positive body language. Students gain insight into what interviewers are really asking and what they are looking for in responses, and students begin to understand the importance of practising interview questions to refine their answers. Through practical exercises, they enhance their communication skills, boost their confidence, and prepare to present themselves professionally in real interview situations.
In our final session, we help students connect their education to their future opportunities, helping them to understand the purpose and importance of their upcoming exams. Using the tagline "You don’t know what you don’t know," we open their eyes to careers they may not have considered and explore how qualifications influence job prospects and earning potential. By broadening their understanding, students gain the knowledge and motivation to make informed decisions about their next steps.
Our Masterclass series are designed for up to 24 students. Masterclasses can happen during the school day or after school, but we pride ourselves on being bespoke and meeting the needs of individual schools and their students, so please get in touch to see how we can best support the wonderful work you are already doing with your students.
M10 Masterclasses provide a comprehensive and holistic approach to personal and future development, giving students the tools and strategies they need to succeed in both their studies and their future careers.
"I had an interview with the Police Cadets and I was the only person from my group to be accepted. They called me back in to tell me that I was the only person ever to receive top marks on how I presented myself, how good my body language was and how well prepared I was for the interview."
"Thank you once again for the impact you have made on the students through these masterclasses. Each one has been fantastic. Last night's session being tailored to their interests was incredible.”
"I have learned more about the importance of preparing and attacking each situation with positivity. I know how my GCSEs are going to help me now."
