Royal Holloway Trip


On Wednesday, 29th January, a group of our Year 10 students enrolled in the FOCUS programme with HEON had the opportunity to visit Royal Holloway University. The day featured two specialised sessions in Maths and English, along with a campus tour that gave students valuable insight into university life.

The English session was led by an experienced teacher who has previously worked as an AQA examiner and contributed to past GCSE English papers. It focused on the English Language paper, offering students expert guidance on improving exam technique, creative writing, and overall preparation. Similarly, the Maths session was delivered by a highly experienced teacher who has served as a chief examiner and played a role in developing past GCSE papers. This session emphasised exam strategies, helping students break down questions effectively and fully understand their requirements.

Throughout the visit, the students demonstrated excellent behaviour and were amazed at the size of the university. Hopefully, this experience has inspired many of them to consider higher education as a future pathway
