Careers & University

Our students go on to attend prestigious universities including those within the Russell Group and Oxbridge, and a growing number secure apprenticeships with the UK’s biggest companies.

In addition, our specialisms in sports and arts see our students progressing to renowned creative and sporting institutions worldwide. We have also developed an impressive alumni network, ready to inspire the next generation.

Personal development curriculum

At HLAW Sixth Form we provide a weekly programme consisting of tutor time, careers and UCAS sessions, assembly, PSHE and enrichment. The personal development curriculum has been intricately designed to equip students with the skills and experiences for university life and the modern workplace.

In addition to the timetabled sessions, we offer additional programmes, workshops, work experience and events bespoke to students’ areas of study or personal interests.

Futures activities and work experience

At the end of year 12, we dedicate time for our students to consider their next steps beyond sixth form. This begins with our annual futures activities, an exciting and informative programme of activities to help prepare students for their next steps. Students hear from a variety of guest speakers including university and apprenticeship providers as well as being able to build their networks with young professionals from a variety of sectors.

Every student then participates in at least a week of work experience. Recent placements have included organisations such as the NHS, Brent Council, Microsoft, and Barclays as well as opticians, pharmacies, primary schools, law firms, accountants, sports coaching and a range of other businesses.
