At Hewens College, community is at the heart of everything we do. Join us for our Open Evening and discover how we nurture confident, ambitious young people who are ready to achieve their full potential.
At Hewens College, we give some of our more able students the opportunity to take part in The Brilliant Club’s Scholars Programme.
The Brilliant Club is an award-winning, UK-based charity that aims to increase the number of students from under-represented backgrounds progressing to highly selective universities. They achieve this by mobilising PhD students and early career researchers to deliver university-style tutoring and support to pupils in state schools.
On Thursday 24th September, we hosted our Open Evening for prospective Year 7 students from across the borough. Due to the hard work of the Hewens Team, the College once again replicated the rounded experience that this occasion provided in previous years. All subjects were showcased with different elements of the course engaging prospective students and providing them with enriching experiences.
As ever, Science put on a strong show with their stimulating range of experiments but it was Ms Lane and their team of actors who stole the show with their amazing theatrical performance and melodious singing. Our student guides worked effortlessly to ensure that the event was a success, providing visitors with an unparalleled experience with their warm, cheerful and mature manner. We hope to see many of our visiting Year 6s in Year 7 next year!
What an absolutely fabulous evening!
Our Year 11 geographers recently enjoyed their final field trip before the exam season – a fantastic opportunity to bring classroom learning to life.
During the visit to Stratford and East London, students explored two contrasting locations: the Olympic Park and Westfield area, alongside an older shopping centre and its surrounding residential environment. This comparison enabled them to investigate key geographical themes, including environmental quality and urban rebranding strategies.
Our Performing Arts students’ passion, creativity, and commitment to excellence shone through in a high-quality Director’s Cut show, delivered just before the Easter break. Their dedication was evident in every aspect of the production, and the talent, energy, and sheer hard work behind each performance was truly inspiring. Students demonstrated outstanding commitment through countless hours of rehearsals, working both on stage and behind the scenes to bring the production to life. The result was a polished and engaging performance that showcased not only their talent but also their teamwork and resilience.We are incredibly proud of all our performing arts students for their efforts and achievements. They continue to raise the bar and create performances that the whole school community can be proud of. A special thank you goes to Mrs James and Mrs Jones, whose expertise, creativity, and dedication consistently enable our students to shine and deliver such exceptional performances.
Starting secondary school is a BIG step — and it’s completely normal to have questions. Our Year 7 Taster Days are designed specifically for prospective students starting Year 7 in September 2026 who have not applied to Hewens College and would like to explore their options before making a final decision. Students who have already applied will be invited to a separate transition day in July.
At The Rosedale Hewens Academy Trust, the safety and wellbeing of everyone in our community is our top priority. In line with updated guidance, we are introducing a new approach to ensure that individuals who may need assistance during an emergency—such as those with disabilities or temporary mobility challenges—are fully supported.
Hewens College welcomed students, parents, guardians and carers to our Year 8 Options Evening. It was incredible to see our visitors exploring the fantastic subjects that The Rosedale Hewens Academy Trust has to offer and getting expert advice from our brilliant teachers. This is an exciting time for our Year 8 students. Whether they dream of becoming a lawyer, a teacher, a West End performer, a nurse, an electrician, a TV producer, working in thenmedia, or even an engineer or computer scientist, the Trust is here to give them the foundations they need to succeed.
Our Year 9 students recently visited the Monday.com offices in London for an exciting and hands on learning experience. During the visit, students used the Monday Vibe platform to work collaboratively in teams to plan, design, and build their own original digital games.
During the final week of the term, all year groups gathered for their respective Achievement Assemblies. These events celebrated the outstanding progress of students who demonstrated exceptional behaviour, strong attendance, and impressive Alliance point contributions. We extend our congratulations to all high achievers and encourage them to maintain their dedication and excellence in the coming term.
Hewens College recently hosted a highly successful Career Day, providing students from Hewens College and De Salis Studio with the opportunity to meet and engage with a wide range of universities, colleges, employers, and industry professionals. The event welcomed representatives from Higher Education, the Armed Forces, engineering, and the creative industries, all of whom shared valuable insight and practical advice about future education and career pathways. Students demonstrated confidence and curiosity throughout the day, asking thoughtful questions, building connections, and developing important communication and networking skills. The College was also honoured to welcome the Mayor of Hillingdon, who met with students and showed support for the opportunities being created for young people within the local community. The College would like to extend sincere thanks to all visiting organisations for their time and commitment.
