Please support where you can!
The Month of May is Mental Health Awareness Month.
This month there has been a display in the library for pupils shadowing the Penguin Books coverage that is all about ‘movement and the many ways it can improve your wellbeing and quality of life’. Harnessing the power of movement the display promotes the best reads and resources.
With Half-Term upon us, not only can you indulge in some reading, but you can also take the wellbeing advice to get ‘moving’; exercise, walk, play sports etc…… especially good advice for all those in the midst of exams who will be spending much time revising…..
Wishing you all a healthy half-term break.
Another trip into London for some of our pupils on the Future Frontiers programme. A valuable opportunity delivered to students by the charity Future Frontiers, who offer coaching, advice and guidance to help young people realise their potential and support further education from age 16. This includes business coaching and exploring various career interests to produce a personalised action plan.
And, in addition to this, the boys get to see some of our iconic London landmarks!

Sounds of the bands rehearsing can be heard around upper school!
Looking forward to the concert tonight – remember FEGS will be running their usual bar with the addition of ‘drink of the night…Cuba Libre!’
With the sponsorship of the Kasuma Trust and the Speakers Trust, students were given the exciting opportunity to visit the Charles Dickens Museum last week.
The museum’s education team delivered interactive and informative workshops and guided tours, which allowed the students to connect with Dickens on a personal level and deepen their understanding of the Victorian era. Among other things, the students were impressed with the realistic table settings which very clearly demonstrated the class difference that persisted during the period, and they found the idea of having a pet crow rather humorous.
Supervised by Ms. Senior, Ms. Ishaq, and Mr. McKoy, the trip was a resounding success, with the students fully engaged in the tour and inspired by it. In fact, the students responded so well to questions asked that the museum staff commented, “They were brilliant!” at the end of the tour.
Overall, the visit was a valuable and enriching experience for the students, and one that will hopefully inspire them to explore their own creativity and imagination.
***Calling all creatives and thinkers!***
Enter our School Values Poster Competition and express what PRIDE means to you
The best entries will become posters around the school and used on our website and in next years planners!
Our school council students were discussing the what the school motto actually meant to them and how that sat within our EGS school community ethos. They came up with the following words that they felt encompassed everything:
- Passion
- Resilience
- Integrity
- Determination
- Empathy
They then realised that it spelt PRIDE and so came about our new school values……completely created by the students!…Perfect!
What Makes A Winning Poster?….
- Creativity and Originality
Stand out with unique design elements that catch the eye and spark interest.

Clearly connect your artwork to the theme of Pride in our school values.

TERROR KID – by Benjamin Zephaniah
Our Pupil Librarians have chosen this book for May.
A great book showing how easily we can be tricked and led astray.
You will have Rico’s back the whole way, but he makes some poor choices and doesn’t realise what is actually going on.
Suddenly he finds himself in serious trouble……
Why not join us in reading our monthly book? Let the library know what you think of them 🙂
