In her email she said "it was a tough 10 weeks but really rewarding. I realised how far you can push yourself when you put your mind to it and I also met friends for life!!" Lilia starts her phase 2 training at HMS Sultan.

Many congratulations to Lilia, we wish her every success for the future!!

Our 2026 Careers Fair took place on Wednesday 11th March and was a huge success!

A massive thank you to all the exhibitors who took the time to attend on the day. There were some really positive comments from our guests regarding the outstanding behaviour, particularly from our Level 2 students who hosted the day and did De Aston proud with their professional conduct and hospitality!

“Thank you for having me!
Had some lovely conversations with your students about their choices for the future 🙂
Just want to say that your 6th Form helpers were fantastic - very welcoming and super helpful!
(Especially Izzy and Daniel who helped me carry some items back to my car!)
Looking forward to working with you again soon"

"I honestly had a great day and really enjoyed engaging with the students. It really sparked an interest in me and made me enthusiastic about working with the school to highlight careers in construction. I feel quite passionate about the fact that we have an ‘ageing workforce’, and we REALLY need to be inspiring young people to join the industry."

"We had a wonderful day. Great to see so many of the students and chatting to them about what they wanted to do, even if it wasn’t horticulture.

Some real characters, everyone was so polite. If you ever have any other days or want any support with presenting careers, I have had a very varied and rewarding one and didn’t go to university"
