This week at H6 - Careers, Remembrance and Learning Beyond the Classroom
Featured News / 13 November
It’s been a busy week at Haringey Sixth Form College. We met prospective students at local schools, came together for Remembrance Day and took learning beyond the classroom, from exploring community sport in Haringey to photographing street art in Brick Lane.
Meeting future H6 students
We teamed up again with the London Academy of Excellence Tottenham (LAET) to deliver a joint assembly for Year 11 students at Park View School, helping them explore their options after GCSEs.
We also attended careers fairs at Arts and Media School, Leytonstone school and Highgate Wood School, where we spoke with students about their next steps and what they could study at H6. A big thank you for inviting us to an event that brought together students, staff and industry professionals.

Marking Remembrance Day
On Wednesday 11 November, our college community came together to honour members of the armed forces who lost their lives in service. Our Uniformed Protective Services students and members of the Student Leadership Academy read a poem to the college community as part of the observance. At 11am, students and staff stood together for the traditional two-minute silence.
Exploring the impact of community sport
Staff from the Selby Trust and Hope in Haringey spoke with our Year 2 Level 3 Sport students about how community sport can improve the lives of young people in Haringey.
Students explored who helps deliver community sport and what can make it harder for some young people to take part, including girls, disabled young people, young people from lower-income households and those from under-represented ethnic backgrounds. The discussion also looked at how community sport can improve health and wellbeing, bring communities together, help reduce crime and support local regeneration.
The team from Hope in Haringey praised the quality of the students’ questions and their knowledge of the topics discussed. We look forward to working with both organisations to give students more opportunities to learn from industry professionals and explore potential work experience placements.
Finding urban beauty in Brick Lane
Our UAL Level 3 Art and Design students visited Brick Lane in East London to take photographs for their Urban Beauty project. From a colourful elephant mural wrapping around a brick corner to a multi-eyed tiger painted across blue doors, the area’s street art gave students plenty to explore.
Students experimented with angles and composition as they looked at how colour, texture and pattern can transform everyday spaces. They returned to college with first-hand visual research to help develop their project ideas.
We’re proud of the curiosity, creativity and leadership our students showed this week, from leading a moment of reflection for the college to asking thoughtful questions about their local community.
That’s the #H6Experience in action. #TeamHaringey6 #MoreThanACollege #H6Proud
