Approximately 35 students from Years 10 and 11 attended a Careers Fair run by Hertsmere Borough Council in partnership with The Hertfordshire Careers Hub.
With developments such as Sky Studios now open, along with the expansion of Elstree Studios, the opening of a Lidl superstore and a growing pharmaceutical sector, Hertsmere is an exciting place to live and work.
The event was a great success.
This year we are launching Sixth Form sports sessions once a half term. Sixth Form students are able to choose from a range of sports they wish to participate in.
Many of our Sixth Form students were on hand to support various departments during our Perspective Parents Evening.
This included the debut performance of our Sixth Form band to showcase our Music Department.

Executive Headteacher, Mr Spencer Lewis:
‘I am absolutely delighted with this year’s excellent GCSE results, particularly after the last two years of disruption due to Covid.
Yavneh College pupils have worked extremely hard and should be incredibly proud of what they have achieved, they have done brilliantly.
Really well done to everyone’.

Executive Headteacher, Mr Spencer Lewis:
‘We are absolutely delighted with these Post 16 results, both at A Level and in our Vocational, Btech course. Yavneh College students have worked so hard under very difficult circumstances and should be incredibly proud of what they have achieved. After a gap of three years since examinations were last sat, to have 62% of A Level grades at A* or A and 93% of vocational students with at least 3 distinctions is a testament both to the hard work of the students and to the dedication and commitment of the staff, who deserve a huge amount of thanks.
I am particularly proud that in this difficult year, six Yavneh students are graduating to Oxbridge or to study medicine.
Very well done to all Yavneh College students, you deserve it.’

As part of our whole school careers programme we are very lucky to be partnered with Communities 1st, an organisation developing, connecting and supporting voluntary and community organisations in a number of districts including Hertsmere.
Through this partnership we were delighted to welcome twenty local volunteers representing a wide range of professions and industries to work with small groups of our Year 10 students. Working in these groups, each student took part in an individual interview and was given feedback both from the interviewer and the other students in the group.
The event was a huge success and the feedback from the volunteers was extremely positive. Many of them commented how engaged and confident our students were. We are so thankful to all the volunteers who gave up their mornings to spend time with our students and we hope to run the event again in future years.
This year’s ORT JUMP mentees from the 2022 mentoring programme had their graduation ceremony at JW3 tonight.
Yavneh College were very well represented with over 40 of our year 12 students participating in the programme.
Year 12 had their UCAS DAY which included a University Fair run by over 25 alumni students representing different courses and universities from across the country. The day also included a talk from the head of recruitment at the University of Birmingham.
Year 12 Geographers spent 3 days in Bournemouth investigating the town and coastline as part of their Geography A level for their independent NEA. They investigated coastal processes such as erosion and longshore drift, as well as doing lots of surveys and questionnaires in the town centre and at the football club. They also went bowling, and did a supper quiz. The students were fantastic, and had a really great time.
Year 7 and 8 had an assembly this week as part of “Cyber Choices” which is a national programme co-ordinated by the National Crime Agency, to help young people make informed choices and to use their cyber skills in a legal way.
The aims of the programme:
· Explaining the difference between legal and illegal cyber activity
· Encouraging individuals to make informed choices in their use of technology
· Increasing awareness of the Computer Misuse Act 1990
· Promoting positive, legal cyber opportunities
