  • Richmond Hill Visit – Apprenticeship Week 2024

    Published 29/02/24

    Miriam from Richmond Hill Hotel, came to school to speak to Year 12 students about the range of opportunities in the hospitality sector.  We all learnt about the different roles and understood more about different career pathways in this exciting field. Miriam offered part-time work experience opportunities at the hotel, as well as apprenticeships for after A Levels. Overall, being able to learn from Miriam's presentation experience was a valuable learning opportunity that will undoubtedly enhance my future academic and professional endeavours in the field of hospitality.

    This presentation was really enlightening as I learnt about a career path that I've recently become interested in.  Miriam explained in detail how the world of hospitality worked and was really vivacious as she did, making me even more interested. She gave us an introduction to Richmond Hill Hotel and explained the various ways to get into hospitality, as well as describing the multitude of uses for Richmond Hill Hotel, including as a wedding venue. This was a wonderful experience and Miriam was a joy to talk to. The presentation was thorough and intriguing. I would like to use this opportunity to thank Richmond Hill Hotel and especially Miriam for this amazing opportunity.

  • Securing a degree apprenticeship

    Published 21/02/24

    Old Hestonian shares the secrets to securing a coveted degree apprenticeship

    This was a great opportunity to ask questions regarding the interview and the assessment center process . We were able to have a one-to-one session with Mansour and during this session he gave us valuable tips for our upcoming apprenticeship interview with Airbus.   I am feeling far more confident and hope to emulate his success.

    I really enjoyed the session; I am inspired by Mansour's journey and want to take the apprenticeship route after my BTEC Level 3 course.  Mansour spoke about his extra curricula activities and how he got rejected for over 30 apprenticeships. I found the session informative and better understand what it takes to stand out from other candidates in order to secure an apprenticeship.

    It is a great privilege to be the Vice-Chair of Governors at HCS. The very best part of supporting the school in this role, is when we meet the students at Governing Board Meetings and at Governor days. This year’s Governor Open Day did not disappoint; the students we met were a credit to HCS, they were hard working, confident, polite and highly engaged and motivated in their learning. The lessons which we observed were challenging, exciting and engaging. It was clear by what we saw that the children and staff at HCS work tirelessly to offer the very best to our community.

    Thank you to all staff and students who were involved in offering so many great opportunities to see how HCS achieves the fantastic outcomes that it does!

  • Homerton College West London School Tour

    Published 07/02/24

    On 19 January, Heston Year 10, 11 and 12 students attended an evening presentation on applying to Cambridge. The presentation was delivered by our link Cambridge college, Homerton. 

    The evening I attended provided by Homerton College was incredibly insightful and was enriched with helpful information regarding options for future pathways. It consisted of information with regard to courses, supervision, colleges, societies, and university life. I enjoyed how concise yet enriching it was. I was surprised at the number of courses available and the supervision, as I believe it is a great idea, being incredibly strengthening for students with their understanding of their courses.

  • Year 12 Business Breakfast

    Published 01/02/24

    The Business Breakfast with the Year 13s provided an invaluable experience to learn from their  A Level journey.  They gave expert and succinct advice on revision tips, how to carefully manage leisure time and work at home  and how to revise efficiently. It gave us an opportunity to speak to students that will be sitting their A Levels in the Summer and who were doing the same subjects. It was reassuring to hear how confident they were about their university places and their exam grades, which really gave us all hope.  They explained all of their struggles and it was interesting to hear the lessons they had learnt in Year 12 so that we didn't have to make the same mistakes. 

    Additionally, the breakfast of croissants, pains au chocolat and juice created a more comfortable environment. It was the cherry on top for me!
