RHS Sixth Form Careers Fair

On Wednesday 20th November, 2024, Ruislip High School Sixth Form proudly hosted its first-ever Careers and Higher Education Fair, as part of its comprehensive post-18 support program. The event attracted over thirty prestigious organisations, including Russell Group universities, apprenticeship providers, and leading employers such as the NHS, the BBC, Mace and the Metropolitan Police. 

The fair offered students a wealth of information and inspiration regarding their future academic and professional opportunities The event also featured two alumni from Ruislip High School’s Class of 2024: Bradley Barker, now an apprentice project manager at TFL, and Zain Louay, a legal apprentice at Botrills Solicitors. Their presence showcased the tangible success that can be achieved by studying at RHS, offering current students a clear and motivating vision of their own potential futures.

Ruislip High School was also pleased to welcome twenty students from Vyners School, reflecting the collaborative spirit of the Vanguard Learning Trust. Ms. Bonny would like to express her gratitude to Mrs. Coyle for helping to arrange this visit. 

Hiruni, Year 13, said: “The Careers Fair was really helpful! I got to speak to lots of different people to discuss potential options for next year. I am planning on studying architecture at university next year, but it was still useful to see other pathways. I really feel like our sixth form offers us lots of support when thinking about our futures.”

Guests praised the students for their engagement and attitude, describing them as ‘very interested and respectful’ throughout the day. Their enthusiasm and curiosity stood out as highlights of the event. This inaugural event marked a significant step in preparing Sixth Form students for life beyond school, equipping them with the knowledge and inspiration to pursue their aspirations with confidence.
