As 2024 draws to an end, we have the final tally of the House points.
It’s very close at the top with St Andrews just ahead of Myddleton.
Well done to all the students who have contributed to the growing number of points and hope that the battle of the points is ready to continue when you come back in January 2025 – which house will be victorious by February half-term..??
Have you ever wondered why the houses are called what they are? Find out here:

School has now closed it’s door for this festive season.
Form all our staff, we wish all our EGS students and their families, and our Enfield community a healthy and happy time.
We shall see you in 2025!
Well done to all the students who entered this year’s Christmas card competition set by Mrs Wertheimer. They all showed a lot of creativity and embraced the seasonal theme.
After much deliberation, Heath Herringshaw in Year 7P was announced the winner. Heath has his design made into the official EGS card, receives a pack of cards for himself, his design printed on a mug and of course a winners certificate.
Congratulations Heath!!
Our Annual Prize Giving evening was standing room only on Wednesday as students from all year groups received their subject prizes for their work last year.
We choose to hold our Prize-Giving ceremony late in the Autumn term so that our last year’s 13s can also attend, being home from University for Christmas. It’s so lovely to hear how their first term has gone.
John Skipper, an Old Boy and retired surgeon was our guest of honour and he gave an inspiring, moving speech about the importance of education and resilience. A message that aligns beautifully with all that we do here at EGS.
It’s such an honour to watch all the prize winners come onto the stage and collect their envelope in which there is also a book voucher.
Enfield Grammar School Trustees fund the prizes every year and I want to personally thank them for maintaining this wonderful tradition. It was a thoroughly enjoyable evening for the students, their parents/carers, Governors and staff alike.

Well we definitely mingled and few of us jingled on this special evening when some of our ‘old boys’ come back to share stories of their time at EGS. It was so lovely to see familiar faces and also some new old boys who came along to see the old place.
This is definitely now an annual event so please do share it with any ex-students and staff that you know and we look forward to next year’s event that will be held in the Tudor Hall in December 25.
If any of our Alumni would like to to be added to our alumni pages, please email [email protected] with your details and short history/timeline of your career since leaving EGS.
TODAY!!
EGS students will be performing ‘Christmas tunes’ on the bandstand in Enfield Town Market today.
They will be raising funds for the North London Hospice so, please come along to give them some support and, if you can, a donation for the charity.
Congratulations to the Year 9 team for getting through to the quarter finals of the Middlesex Cup, and commiserations to Year 7 but good effort and well done for playing.
Last Friday we had our annual Christmas concert which was a sell-out with not even standing room to spare!
The Year 7 Band and ‘Strings & Things’ made their debut, our Steel Pans group wowed the crowd, and Year 8, 9 and 10 bands rocked hard albeit in a festive manner, with Groove Band, Little Big Band and the Rhythm & Brass band all bringing sonorous tones to proceedings.
Student led bands, Space Goose and Purple Elixir brought the house down and the evening was raucously finished by Senior Band featuring members of staff and the wild man of rock, our very own Mr Leverno. A fitting end to a fantastic, festive, fun-filled evening.
A huge thank you to Chaslet Sound (parent to one of our Year 8s) who provided the amazing lights and sound helping to create this spectacular concert.
The dedication and passion of our music department team are not only teachers of music, they provide a place of creativity, respect, opportunities and support for our students. They are one big musical family……we are really very proud of them all (staff and students).
Happy Christmas!
