In support of Movember this month and International Men’s Day on Saturday (19th), Lower School are holding a ‘wear a moustache’ to school tomorrow, Friday 18th November.
Boys can come into school wearing a false moustache or buy one for charity from the LS office for 20p.
All other donations towards Movember can be put in the collection box and will be sent to the charity.
Movember
Men’s health is in crisis. Men are dying on average 4.5 years earlier than women, and for largely preventable reasons.
A growing number of men – around 10.8M globally – are facing life with a prostate cancer diagnosis. Globally, testicular cancer is the most common cancer among young men. And across the world, one man dies by suicide every minute of every day, with males accounting for 69% of all suicides.
Movember is uniquely placed to address this crisis on a global scale. We fund ground-breaking projects all over the world, engaging men where they are to understand what works best and accelerate change.

Men’s Day raises awareness for:
– The high male suicide rate across the world
– The educational challenges that face both men and boys at all stages of life
– Men’s health, their shorter life expectancy and the fact that they suffer from workplace deaths at a much higher rate than women
– Male violence, and the fact that males are also victims to things such as rape, sexual exploitation and domestic violence
– The challenges faced by men as parents, especially as single parents or parents that do not have a good relationship with the Mother of their children. There is also focus on Fathers rights
– Male survivors of violence or abuse, including domestic abuse
– The negative portrayal of men in the media and beyond. This includes male stereotypes that are used by well-known brands in advertising campaigns

Today, wherever we are in school, we shall be stopping at 11am for the two minutes silence.
This morning, both upper and lower school, have had Assemblies where the boys watched this very moving video; ‘End of the War – The Final Minutes of WWi’ : https://youtu.be/U10ON2aau3g
The 2 minute silence has been a tradition since 1945 to remember all those killed and injured during the 2 world wars and, indeed, all wars. As we all take time to remember, we will be reflecting, in particular, on our past students and staff, young and old, who never came home and who are memorialised in our Upper School.

Dr Lovell is one of our more recent members to be elected onto the Governing Body, joining us in January 2022 and has been appointed to the Standards & Achievements Committee and the Admissions Committee.
Dr Lovell says “I have two sons at Enfield Grammar. I originally trained as a scientist, and now have over 20 years’ experience as a civil servant working in Government. I have lived in Enfield for over 15 years, and was a primary school governor before joining the EGS Governing Body. I am fully committed to supporting the school to deliver the breadth and depth of education of the highest quality that all children and young people have a right to receive.”
In addition to sitting on the two sub-committees, Dr Lovell is also our Link Governor for the Music Department and is focused on supporting and strengthening this department, working alongside the teachers and SLT to enhance the musical provision offered to our students.
