Our annual Careers Fair is our flagship event, which invites a wide range of employers, universities, colleges and apprenticeship providers, to join us here at Heston Community School. We invite students and their parents/carers from all year groups, to access information to support at all key transition stages. The purpose of the evening is to provide the opportunity to gather information relating to possible routes into different careers or study from a range of providers.

We had several talks that took place during the evening, which were well attended.  Students and their parents/carers had the opportunity to engage in valuable conversations with the exhibitors and take away resources to help them to continue to explore options. Feedback was very positive and we look forward to holding this again in the future.

The Careers Fair helped me widen my opportunities and helped me look at different career paths for the future. I experienced different pathways for careers. It also helped me look at different options for post 16 and post 18. It helped me gather information for my decision for A-levels. It was a very fun and interesting experience.

The Career Fair really helped me get input from different colleges. I had an interest in West London college beforehand but the Careers Fair helped me venture into different post-16 options and subjects. I believe that the Careers Fair helps younger years such as years 7 to 9 and inspires them to explore different jobs and prospects.

The Careers Fair helped me to realise the massive number of opportunities I have with my subjects and how I can further advance my skills in order to apply them to my further studies in Sixth Form. It has also helped me find my passion in a career and different A-Levels.

The Careers Fair was very insightful! We had the opportunity to speak with universities, apprenticeship providers, and former students. I especially enjoyed my conversation with Iman, a former student who is currently completing a Level 4/5 apprenticeship. He shared some websites and resources he used to prepare for interviews. Since then, I have taken the initiative to attend a university taster day and arranged a one-day work experience.

The "Getting into Medicine" talk gave me the chance to ask questions about admission tests and the best ways to prepare for the UCAT exams. The talk reinforced my ambition to study medicine in the future. The speaker's determination and passion for the profession was inspiring, and I hope that one day, I’ll be able to come back as a speaker myself.
