More Able Evening
It was delightful to see so many determined students, with a fervent desire to thrive academically attending the More Able Evening. As a keynote speaker, I navigated my Hestonian peers through my GCSE journey:
- Including: my revision routine
- My meticulous choices at home and in class
- Capitalising on seeking support from teachers
- how to make the most of mock examinations
- The ways in which my parents supported me
- Advice for maintaining positive mental health during this time
- Extra and super-curricular activities I have engaged in [and some that I engage in now]
- Useful websites for purchasing revision guides
- Revision techniques and materials.
All of this enabled the metamorphosis from mere dreams in my heart to reality sealed in the final envelope.

I was able to speak at our recent More Able Evening, where I shared my own journey through the GCSE period, discussing the preparation strategies and routines that helped me grow both academically and personally. It was rewarding to talk about how I achieved my grades and I hope everyone left with a better understanding of the resources and techniques that contributed to my success. I also highlighted how the School’s support, through enrichment programs and teacher guidance, motivated me to aim higher and push my boundaries. I think the Evening gave students and parents a clearer idea of the many ways that I, along with past students, were able to succeed and offered some helpful tips.
