School governance allows you to develop your skills, both personally and professionally and will mean that you could add the following skills and experience to their CV:

  • Strategic planning
  • Experience on a board
  • Holding senior leaders to account
  • Finance, and maintaining oversight of huge budgets
  • Human resources and performance management
  • Project management
  • Marketing
  • Communication and teamwork
  • Decision making

You will learn about how decisions are made at the school and the pressures that school leaders face. It’s a unique opportunity to see how the school is managed while playing an integral role in deciding what happens next.

Martin Luther King Day

15th January 2024Mrs S Field

On Monday, Mrs Rudolph along with her work experience students from Kingsmead school and our pupil librarians created a display in the library where you can learn more about Martin Luther King MLK and his passionate fight for civil rights..

Although MLK Day is not a celebrated day here in the UK, it is important to remember those who have come before us, who stood up for what they believed in and were striving for a more harmonious world.

Martin Luther King Day, 15 January (his birthday) is a federal holiday in the United States, observed on the third Monday of January each year. It is a day to honour the civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. and his contributions to the civil rights movement.

Martin Luther King: born 1929, assassinated in 1968.

“I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the colour of their skin but by the content of their character.”

“Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.”

EGS says ‘NO’ to all forms of discrimination!

11th January 2024Mrs S Field

Here are some new posters that are displayed in all classrooms and around the school.

Following on from valuable anti-discriminatory training for all staff, a zero tolerance approach is being reinforced, with fully accessible reporting systems for both staff and students.

Our goal is not solely to reprimand but to educate and transform behaviours, cultivating a more inclusive school community. All students will be comprehensively educated about anti-discrimination and the various sanctions in place. Full details were sent out to all parents earlier this week.

Our school must be a place where every pupil feels secure, valued, and empowered to reach their fullest potential.

Happy New Year to our EGS Community!

‘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]
