David Dein MBE is a British businessman, known for being a former co-owner and vice-chairman of Arsenal Football Club, and former vice-chairman of the Football Association. David Dein was vice-chairman of Arsenal between 1983 and 2007, and was instrumental in the formation of the Premier League in 1992 and in appointing Arsene Wenger as Arsenal manager in 1996.
We were honoured to have him come to EGS as part of the Speakers for Schools programme to deliver a motivational and inspirational talk; it was a fantastic presentation about life in the Premiership and being successful. David then took questions from our students.
Our remembrance assemblies are always moving, educational and reflective. Today was all of that and more with the performance of the Last Post played by Daniel Moorwood in Year 12.
James Lovell in Year 10 recently attended a composition masterclass at the Royal Academy of Music. He was asked to create a graphic score for his own composition which was then developed and performed by professional musicians from the Academy.

Well done, James, this is fantastic!
