Football Coaching Sessions

8th June 2022Mrs S Field
Special coaching sessions with the Year 7 & 8 football squads were held recently, all run by Michael Duberry and Kevin Lisbie (striker, ex professional for Charlton Athletic played in the premier league).
 
The sessions went really well; the boys were pushed hard and they learned a lot from the immense experience of both Michael and Kevin.
 
What a great opportunity and privilege for our boys to be coached by such professionals!
Thank you Michael Duberry & Kevin Lisbie .⚽

EGS Half-Term Camp for Year 5s

7th June 2022Mrs S Field

Teachers at EGS enjoyed welcoming Year 5 pupils for the Half-Term Camp which ran for 2 days during the break.

The camp involved a wide range of activities designed to educate, challenge and entertain primary school pupils but it most importantly gave them  a real insight and feel into what life at EGS really is…. #community

EGS Voices Go To The Caribbean!

24th May 2022Mrs S Field

Our EGS Choir had a very successful and happy performance at the Caribbean Luncheon Club in Edmonton on Friday, 20th May.  Having performed there in December 2021, we were very happy to be invited to return for what was another very positive experience for all concerned.

The Choir performed exceptionally well and we received a number of comments about how much they had improved between the two performances. Members of the audience and staff working at the club danced along with some of the numbers and the choir were asked to perform an encore!

A very special thanks to Miss Paula Thompson who runs the choir and whose enthusiasm and professionalism inspire our small choir to produce such a wonderful sound.

We are very proud of them.

The organiser, Ms Oveta McInnes said “I don’t think the boys really appreciate just how much joy they bring to the elders. This is a real example of an intergenerational activity and the benefits are two-way.”

Dulcie from the audience said “Just to let you know the Enfield Grammar School Choir were Wonderful! The chosen songs were mixed in style, which balanced a most professional delivery.”

Michael was chosen to compete for Enfield in Trampolining in the London Youth Games.
And, although he was competing against much older boys in higher rankings, Michael’s strong performance resulted in him coming 11th individually and 5th out of the 28 represented Boroughs.
Congratulations Michael! 🥉
