EGS swings to the sound of jazz….
A great visit from the Dave Storey Trio last Friday who played to, and took questions from, some of our students.
Watch the slideshow below (click the image) – there’s a little musical treat at the end 🙂

#FavouriteBookFriday:
Director of Sport, Mr Kendrick has chosen ‘Seven Deadly Sins: My Pursuit of Lance Armstrong by David Walsh’.
The definitive account of the author’s twelve-year quest to uncover and make known the truth about Lance Armstrong’s long history of performance-enhancing drug use, which ultimately led to the cyclist’s being stripped of his seven Tour de France titles.
“I wanted to tell him that the problems of the more recent past were in part down to journalists being too gullible. And to remind him of the role journalists and newspapers had played in the creation of the Tour de France… Journalists are sentimental creatures and the success of the Tour is built on emotion and memory.”
The EPS will be continuing to offer the telephone support line and, at present, are looking at continuing to offer this until March 2022. Our aim is to respond to parents/carers within 3 days of receiving the request. We receive positive feedback from parents/carers who use this service.
A few comments that we recently received about what parents/carers found helpful:
“The psychologist listened to me and she also gave me some advice and things to try”
”It is so lovely that there are people who can help us to go in the right direction”
“My EP consultant listened to all my inquiries and gave me excellent information & advice”
“My psychologist was extremely supportive and gave me sound advice. I found her extremely approachable and helpful, she was amazing!”
“Strategies for us to use with our daughter but also help to make the relevant people aware of the help we need going forward”
“All of it! help with telling me about other services”
Well done to all of the Y12 students who completed Peer Mentoring Training as part of our Annual Progression Week; looking forward to seeing the positive impact you will have on younger students.

Here is our Head Boy’s certificate:
Know Your Onions
We have been delighted to work alongside the charity, School Food Matters, with the “Know Your Onions” project.
We have delivered 2 workshops this term – planting and growing where the students learnt about seasonal fruit and vegetables and a cooking session that allowed the students to prepare a range of healthy meals using fresh produce.
Our 3rd session next term will see our students visit our local market to sell their school grown produce.
