Enfield Borough Basketball Champions: EGS Seniors!!

24th February 2023Mrs S Field

In the wise words of Mr Lamb; ‘BOOM!’

Yes, our boys have done it again!

Yesterday, the EGS Seniors basketball team played their final league fixture.

This was a highly contested, end to end match with St Ignatius.

Although we lost the game 43-45, we were still top of the league, with St IGS requiring a points difference of 34 points in their favour to take the title.

We are delighted to announce that Enfield Grammar School have retained their title for the 2nd year running and are ENFIELD BOROUGH BASKETBALL CHMAPIONS 2022/23! 👏👏👏

Congratulations to the boys in the team for another fantastic season and thank you to Mr Smith (aka basketball coach) for all his time, support and coaching. 🏀

KS3 Music Concert

23rd February 2023Mrs S Field

The KS3 concert, just before the half-term break, was a complete sell out, with standing room only !

The year 7 choir did a fantastic job and raised the roof with their performance.
Not to be outdone, the years 7,8 and 9 bands rocked the house, and with great refreshments supplied by FEGS the night was a roaring success. 👏
And Mr Escott was pretty awesome too! 😀

Cooking Competition Success for Roman in Y10!

20th February 2023Mrs S Field
Roman Coutts in Year 10 recently took part in the Springboard’s FutureChef London Regional Final competition, narrowly missing out on first place but achieving second.
As part of his prize for winning the School Heat, Roman has been mentored by a professional sous chef from Hilton Conrad St James, Filip Stoimenov, who works under Executive Chef Michael Riordan. This has proved a wonderful learning opportunity for Roman and he earned high praise from both Mentor Chefs. Thank you to Filip and Michael for supporting Roman and giving up their time.
Well done Roman, Mrs Broadley is very proud!

Our mission is to promote reading for pleasure, offering every child and young person the opportunity to have a book of their own. Reading for pleasure is the single biggest indicator of a child’s future success – more than their family circumstances, their parents’ educational background or their income. We want to see more children, particularly those from disadvantaged backgrounds, with a life-long habit of reading for pleasure and the improved life chances this brings them.
