‘Old Boys’ (Alumni) Event

21st December 2023Mrs S Field

Monday night saw the first of what hopefully will become an annual event, the Christmas Jingle & Mingle for our ex-students. It was lovely to see ‘old boys’ spanning over many years and interesting to hear old stories about the school and what they are all doing now. We had some f our current sixth formers on hand who took them on tours of the school.

Thank you to all of those who came along, especially it being a Monday night!

Enfield Grammar School (that has been part of Enfield for a very long time!) is relaunching their ‘Old Boys Association’ (Alumni) with a Jingle & Mingle event and would love to have as many generations as possible represented. The OBA has been going for over 100 years and we would like to see it going on for another 100!

The invite was extended to all of our ex-students, from those who are currently at university through to those who may have ‘more distant memories'(!) of their school days, including past employees (support and teaching staff).
The Old Boys Association has dwindled over the last few years and EGS decided it was time to step up and try to rejuvenate it. We, along with a couple of key ‘Old Boys’ who have kept their website going, will continue to build on the membership year on year in the hope that we can reintroduce the large annual silver service dinner and some sporting events.
If you were a member of the school and would like to be added to our database to be advised of any such future events, then please email the office for the attention of Mrs Field/Mrs Walsh. [email protected] 

A Joyous Christmas Concert!

19th December 2023Mrs S Field
Friday night saw another sensational Christmas concert from the EGS boys. Carols were sung, bells were rung and festive feelings were spread throughout the hall.
The new Year 7  band made their debut as well as the Orchestra and the Steel pans also making their maiden appearance, showing a more diverse and exciting sound from the Music department.
A great night of Yuletide tunes was topped with HSBC promising to match our raffle money… a lovely Christmas present for us 🙂
Altogether, a fun and festive way to end the term!

EGS Community Annual Fundraiser Launched!

5th December 2023Mrs S Field

As we navigate through challenging times, we are acutely aware of the financial hardships facing many families across the UK due to the ongoing economic crisis.

As a school community, we are committed to supporting our students and their families.
To assist families this winter we re launched our fundraising appeal last night with the aim to provide financial assistance to those who require support during these difficult times.

Each barrier or worry that we can remove for a young person improves their experience at school and helps to support their engagement and learning.

Thank you in advance for your support and, if you are able to donate, your kind donation will help make a positive difference to our students and their families.

End of Term: Summer Break begins…!

27th July 2023Mrs S Field

There were so many activities going on during the run up to the end of term; department trips, tours, music concerts and activity days, finishing with our annual staff BBQ, where staff get the chance to relax and socialise, are thanked for their hard work and dedication throughout the year and,  also to say goodbye to colleagues who are moving on.

We would like to wish all our students (including our prospective ones!), their families, our staff, LYDS Community Patrol, supporters and local community, a happy and healthy summer break.

So, until the results days in August…. ‘goodbye and stay safe’.

Here is a video snippet of some events that we didn’t get around to posting about just before the end of term….

  • Year 7 Activity Day
  • Year 8 Activity Day
  • Year 8 & 9 Maths & Computer Science Trip to Legoland
  • Year 10 Trip to Thorpe Park – 58 year 10 pupils were rewarded for their excellent behaviour and work throughout the year with a trip to Thorpe Park. The day went superbly and all the boys and teachers enjoyed themselves and the glorious sunny weather.
  • Year 7 Choir perform for local residents – Our fabulous choir, EGS Voices, joined local choir “Adorned” at Ponders End Methodist Church for a performance for local residents. Our fabulous singing teacher Paula Thompson led the choir and they all sang brilliantly! We had lots of comments from the audience about how fantastic they were and looked forward to the next performance.
  • Year 7 perform at St Andrews – The Year 7 boys put on a fantastic show for the year 5 and 6 students at St.Andrews Primary School. They performed a couple of songs and then showed off the various instruments and answered questions about life in year 7. Mr Kendrick then spoke about the Sports scholarship and how students can apply and excel at Enfield Grammar. All of the young students were fully engaged, asking questions and thoroughly enjoying the boys performance

Pre-Loved Uniform Sale A Success

20th July 2023Mrs S Field

Just a quick update on the FEGS pre-loved uniform ‘sale’ last week which was a big success.

Although all the pre-loved uniform was free for parents to take (we understand the cost of living is high and like to support where we can), we still received donations, which were greatly appreciated. The donations go straight back into the school to benefit our students. Thank you 😊

Many parents commented on how their children grow out of clothing so quickly, so, if you have any pre-loved EGS uniform that you don’t need (including PE kits and coats), please drop it all off at one of our school offices and we will offer it out to parents at the next sale we hold. 👖👔🧥

Thank you to Mrs Watson and Mrs Michael-Waller who ran the sale; both have given countless years of support to the school and continue to do so 💚
