Why our young people value the opportunities at HEHS

CERN

Our annual expedition to CERN in Switzerland to see the world’s largest and most powerful particle accelerator - the Hadron Collider - is just one of the Science highlights of the year. 

“To have the opportunity to see what you read about in text books brought to life is truly amazing and helps me understand the importance of what we learnt. It really brought home to me the international scale of the whole operation and has prepared me well for further studies.” - Chandler Low 

The key contact for CERN is Dr Mehta. Please email mehta@hatchend.harrow.sch.uk for further details.

Debate Mate

It is well known that the ability to present and debate confidently to a wide range of audiences is one of the most important life skills we can have in order to be successful. Debate Mate is a fantastic, national debating programme for students facilitated by students at the best universities, providing our students with the opportunity to practise these vital skills such as speaking, listening and critical thinking.

“I never used to watch the news, but now I do because at Debate Mate we talk about what’s going on in the world. I want to be Prime Minister one day, and that’s all because of Debate Mate.” - Jessica Woolf

St Johns Inspire Scholars Programme

The Inspire Scholars Programme for Years 9, 10 & 11 is a pioneering, sustained-contact programme developed collaboratively with St Johns College Oxford in order to help students explore their interests, develop their academic skills, and consider their futures. The Inspire Scholars Programme recognises the importance of each individual’s surroundings in supporting students to reach their academic potential. The programme offers a range of opportunities - from Inspire Clubs to Conferences, and Summer Schools to engaging trips. Participants get the opportunity to:

  • Explore academic subjects they are enthusiastic about in a structured and deeper way
  • Gain confidence in their academic abilities; talking about their subject and understanding what makes a good application to competitive universities
  • Meet people who share a passion for their subject
  • Gain the tools to make informed academic choices and submit strong applications to competitive courses and universities.

"My experience was very positive throughout all the Inspires Scholar sessions, we were all engaged and involved, consisting of multiple different enticing activities to build on our skills and develop knowledge. The programme has  shown us all many different aspects of education to discover, including crafts, architecture, and creative writing. Sessions were always really well attended, and applications to enter were continuous! We are exceedingly grateful for this opportunity!" - Freddie Huggett
