With it being the Year 9 GCSE Options season, it’s good to understand some of the lingo used…
The English Baccalaureate (EBacc) is a performance measure for schools in England, not a qualification, which highlights students who achieve a grade 5 or above in a core set of GCSE subjects: English, maths, science, a language, and history or geography.
Introduced in 2010, it aims to keep options open for young people by ensuring a broad, academic curriculum recognised by employers and universities.
Last minute reminder!!
Looking forward to our KS3 Concert tomorrow evening….
FEGS will be running their usual licensed bar with snacks….
To mark Children’s Mental Health Week 2026, we will be delivering a special assembly for Years 7 and 8 centred on this year’s theme of Belonging — exploring how we can develop our own sense of belonging and help others feel that they belong too.
The assembly will be followed by form-time activities and the creation of a ‘Belonging Pledge’ display. Every child deserves to feel accepted, welcomed, valued and comfortable in their environment.
Jamie Tetstill in Year 9 plays hockey after being inspired by his idol, Canadian international Jordan Binnington. Watching him compete sparked a passion that led Jamie to take up the sport himself.
“I am the starting goalie for the Haringey Hounds U14A team, and I also serve as an available backup for both the U16B and U16A squads. I play roller hockey as well, where I’m the starting goalie for the Borehamwood Crusaders U16 and U19 teams. I train across all age groups, from U14 up to men’s.”
Jamie has already represented England at international tournaments in Finland and Germany, and this year he will once again represent England in Switzerland as part of the U16 national team.
We wish Jamie the very best of luck this year in this fast-paced and exciting sport! 🏒

Progress 8 and Attainment 8 are two key measures used to evaluate a school’s performance.
While traditional metrics such as the percentage of grades 7–9 at GCSE still have value, Progress 8 and Attainment 8 aim to provide a more rounded picture. They encourage schools to focus on improving outcomes for all pupils, not just those aiming for the highest grades.
Attainment 8 measures a student’s average achievement across eight approved subjects at Key Stage 4, including GCSEs or equivalent qualifications, and is used to compare overall school performance. The measure is calculated by totalling points from these subjects, with English and mathematics double-weighted, to indicate the average level of attainment.
Unlike Progress 8, Attainment 8 reflects a school’s overall academic outcomes rather than the progress pupils make from their starting points.
Here is how EGS is doing in the Borough of Enfield:
