Over the last three days some of our Year 10 students have participated in the annual ORT JUMP Employability Skills Programme. Students had to develop a marketing and advertising campaign for a cutting edge brand culminating in a pitch to retail professionals.
The Cyber Cup is a nationwide competition, where students work in teams of 6 to navigate through cryptography and cyber security challenges. At Yavneh, we had 5 teams across years 7-9 competing against other schools to try and win the Cyber Cup.
Year 10 students visited Balliol College, Oxford University to learn about the nature of student life and study at Oxford University. The trip included a lecture about university life, a tour from a current undergraduate and a workshop at the Natural History Museum.
All Year 8 students took part in an interactive First Aid workshop today run by Stand Against Violence.
Sixth Form Politics students had the opportunity to visit the Houses of Parliament today which included a guided tour of both the Houses of Commons and the House of Lords.
Over 300 parents/students (Year 10-13) attended our Careers Fair on the 23rd January.
We are so grateful to the sixty plus volunteers from our Parent bodies (both from Yavneh College and Yavneh Primary School) who kindly represented and showcased a huge range of careers from a variety of different industries and sectors for our students.
The evening also included two “spotlight” sessions held in the Theatre where eight presenters provided a brief snapshot of their career.
Thank you so much to all those involved who helped make the evening such a success.
In early 2021, an aspiring and gifted year 12 Yavneh College student, Mr. Josh Morris, who went on to study at Imperial College London, became fascinated with Masterclasses from the Royal Institution of Great Britain (Ri) and lobbied hard for the training. The Ri had been connecting people to Science for well over 200 years and established an international reach, working with world-leading scientists. Sir Christopher Zeeman originally inspired the Masterclass programme over 40 years ago. Masterclasses had grown into a nationwide programme of Mathematics, Engineering and Computer Science courses for school students aged 9 to 18 years.
Ms. Alison Eves led a training event on Thursday 14th January 2025 at Yavneh College. Seven year 12s volunteered and worked together to bring forth ideas to inspire a love of learning amongst Primary School children. The contribution of the Ri was well-received, and Ms. Eves was applauded for her work by the year 12s. It is expected that most of these 12s will undertake activities to inspire a love of learning amongst Primary School students.

We welcomed back some of our alumni students currently studying medicine to give a talk to Year 11 and 12 students thinking about studying Medicine at University and run mock interviews with our Year 13 students in the process of applying for Medicine. We are so proud of all the progress of our alumni Medical students and wish them every success in their future careers.
We welcomed several of our alumni students back to Yavneh College this evening to talk about their post-18 journey having pursued an Apprenticeship pathway. It was wonderful see to how much each student has accomplished and we are very proud of their success.
