The Vision; Community Placements

Here at Middlesex University we want students to be at the heart of our local community and for the local community to see the University at its heart.

We are excited to be offering Community Placements across the borough. These are not volunteering opportunities they are paid placements. They give our students the chance to develop their academic studies in a real world setting. They also give our students the chance to give something back into your area.

All MDXSU placements are paid in line with the London Living Wage Foundation (currently £9.40 per hour).

The Project; Hendon School

Hendon School is an outstanding community secondary school in Hendon. Diverse and dynamic, Hendon School supports every student to realise their full potential in every aspect of life. The School recognises the skills and strengths of leadership and knows that everyone has a part to play in shaping the future of the school community. Members of Hendon School are ready to lead and connect with others to build effective and harmonious relationships within the school and the wider community.
