Year 11 End of Year / Leavers

14th June 2023Mrs S Field

Just before the half-term, we had the Year 11 Leavers celebration, starting with a dedicated Leavers Assembly filled with memories and positive notes for the future. Every year, at this time, It is both a sad and a happy time for the school; to be saying goodbye to pupils who we have watched grow from boys to young men, but delighted with letting them go on to travel their next steps, knowing we have helped to prepare them for this time in their lives.

We then had a lovely couple of hours after the assembly, with refreshments, boys playing their last ever game of football in the playground and the treat of having the Slow Dough Pizza company on site to freshly make pizzas for lunch. The atmosphere was great, and a big thank you to the Year 11 team for the support given on the day and throughout the year.

Lastly, just to wish all our boys the very best in their GCSE exams that they are in the middle of.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Fun At Our EGS Year 5 Camp :-)

14th June 2023Mrs S Field
During the half-term break, Y5 pupils from local primary schools joined us for our Year 5 Half-Term Camp.
Over two days, they took part in a wide range of activities (PE, geography, first aid, music, French and creative writing) designed by teachers to give them a true insight into life at secondary school and especially at EGS.
Thank you Year 5 for coming and thank you to our amazing teachers for putting these activities together!

#StudentSpotlight: Alfie Knipes Year 11

13th June 2023Mrs S Field

A huge congratulations is due to Alfie;

Since we last posted a spotlight on his boxing successes, he was selected by England Boxing to represent his country in the Three Nations Boxing Championships in Scotland.

Alfie won a silver medal for England, and is on his way along the England Boxing pathway –  this is a massive achievement, and, along with his family and friends, we are all very proud of him and wish him continued success.

#StudentSpotlights: Year 7 Footballers

12th June 2023Mrs S Field
Recently, a group of our Year 7 students, Harry W, Zachary M, Ben G, Pablo & Matteo R, and Harry M had the fantastic experience of playing football in Naples, Italy.
These boys all play in our EGS football team (luckily for us!), but are also in the U12s team for Enfield Town FC.
Playing for Enfield Town, they took part in the football tournament in Italy, playing against other great teams over 4 days. Winning every game they played, they returned to the UK with the winners cup!! Champions!
Congratulations boys, and may you continue to play such great football!
 

Sports Scholars Visit The Home of Cricket: Lords

25th May 2023Mrs S Field

Our sport scholars from years 7-9 had the opportunity to watch some professional county cricket (Middx v Somerset) at Lords and play some fun games with Middlesex cricket coaches.

They practised their fielding and batting skills in the nursery pavilion and they engaged wonderfully with the cricket activities.

All of our boys represented themselves and the school excellently. Their behaviour throughout the day was fantastic.

A group of our boys even managed to complete the very difficult treasure hunt around Lord’s and won a signed Middlesex shirt!

Year 7 Music Assembly

23rd May 2023Mrs S Field

Last week’s Year 7 music assembly was a hit, with one of our fantastic Year 7 drummers performing as well as an incredible saxophone demonstration featuring a live jazz trio made up of our music teachers, Mr Escott (bass), Dave Storey (drums) and Tom Barford (Sax)!

There’s nothing like a bit of jazz in the afternoon to send you home relaxed!
