Yesterday we welcomed over 40 employers in to school to hold mock interviews with our Year 11 and Year 13 students. This was a great opportunity for our students experience an authentic job interview from a wide range of business as well as to receive feedback on their CVs and is an integral part of our Work Ready agenda. Our visitors covered every area of business from Biochemistry to Journalism and everything in between! Huge thanks to all of the businesses who supported us with this event - it was a really fantastic afternoon. #WorkReady #Interviews #Year11 #Year13

We were delighted to welcome back some of last year's Year 11 cohort and their families for our annual GCSE Awards Evening. It was fantastic to be able to come together again to celebrate their achievements and award trophies. With words of encouragement, celebration and wisdom from our Headteacher, Ms Owoh and our Chair of Governors, Mrs Perkins, our invited guests and staff enjoyed a wonderful musical contribution from some of our current Year 10 Music students. Congratulations to Richmond, now in Year 12 at HVS, who was awarded the prestigious Head Teachers Award - we are so proud of you Richmond! #GCSEAwards #AwardsEvening #Year11

As a school community we came together this morning, both in person and virtually, in remembrance of those who served and continue to serve. Our short Service of Remembrance was held outside and was then live-streamed to every classroom in the school. Students and staff were invited to come to school today wearing their uniforms representing community groups they are part of which included Rainbows, Scouts, St John's Ambulance and Cadets. Staff who had previously served in the Forces joined in by wearing their medals with pride. Our thanks to our Head Girl, Eva for reading Ode of Remembrance, and also to Mr Darnell for his beautiful rendition of The Last Post. #RemembranceDay #RemembranceDay2025

Our Year 13 Biology students got hands-on with Chromatography today The photosynthetic pigments of a plant sample are separated into bands of colour by paper chromatography, and the rates of migration of the individual pigments will depend on their solubility, mass, and affinity to the paper. #Biology #ALevel #Chromatography
