Last Wednesday, the Year 8 Band performed at St. Mary Magdalene’s Church in Enfield as part of their lunchtime concert series. They performed wonderfully and wowed the audience with their music! We look forward to going back again next year!
Footie fixture this week….only today …
Good luck boys!
With all our WOW Day trips and experience events happening later this week we would like to reach out to you all and ask if you would be happy to donate an Easter Egg..?
After the successful and hugely appreciated outreach community project that Mr Thompson, Head of Citizenship, led for the December WOW charity day, he has decided that, on Thursday, our students will go into Enfield Town to spread a little cheer, add a smile and say thank you to anyone in our community….just to be kind.
If you can spare a small/cheap easter egg that could be put forward for this charitable enterprise, please send it into school with your son to hand in to the office for the attention of Mr Thompson.
Thank you in advance for any donations we receive in.
Who will be our lucky recipients on Thursday??!

Through the Social Enterprise Academy, Year 9 Pupils have been asked to create their own company. This involves everything from conception, creating a product or service, through to marketing and sales.
The challenge is to ensure the outcome benefits our school and/or the local community, or both!
On Thursday 13 March, pupils will have the opportunity to discuss their ideas and progress with a start-up company in preparation for the Dragon’s Den showdown in the summer term.
Here are the two ‘companies’ we’d like to introduce to you;
…from the classroom to the clothing rack….Lujo Clothing. The Lujo entrepreneurs are; Zion, Barnaby, Lewis and Shane
and
…find your flow…..Fidget Fusion. The Fidget Fusion entrepreneurs are Henry, Dhruv and Jaden.
They have done amazingly well so far having created their logo and produced their product – Good luck with the next stage!
“Where The Music Magic Happens”……Yesterday saw the sixth form music tech boys and some GCSE music students head to the Abbey Road Institute, at Angel studios, Islington. This iconic studio was host to Adele’s 21, Rush’s Power Windows, as well as albums by Courtney Pine, Sam Smith, Robbie Williams and Fela Kuti. At this site, students can take an intensive one year course in music production.
The boys were thrilled to look around the live rooms and production suites and taste the musical history of quite a magical place.

From receiving their Best British Group award and performing at the Brits on Saturday, Femi, TJ and Joe, of Ezra Collective returned to school yesterday to film a clip for BBC Newsround that was aired this morning. They spoke with our music scholars, reminisced and generously donated some musical instruments to our music department.
It is truly wonderful to see how these young boys who came to us in year 7, having worked hard to followed their dream, and have flourished into talented, kind and generous men, living the life they aspired to. Is this not testament to all the passionate, caring teachers and youth club leaders in the world?!
