Over the last bank holiday weekend, Malakai took part in the AP International Swimming Gala at the Olympic Park Aquatic Centre.
Malakai swam alongside international Olympic swimmers, and in doing so, made it to 2 finals, 100fly Junior Final (U19s) where he came 2nd, and the Senior B Finals for the 50fly.
During the weekend, he met and discussed his race with both Adam Peaty OBE (Triple Olympic Champion), and his coach Mel Marshall MBE (former British swimmer winning numerous medals). I don’t think you can get better feedback and support than that?!
Sounds like Malakai had an brilliant weekend of swimming and we wish him continued success – well done!
Calling all our local primary schools and year 5 pupils:
Following the success of our Year 5 Half-Term Camp, we just couldn’t resist having another fun taster day before the end of the summer term.

Just before the half-term, we had the Year 11 Leavers celebration, starting with a dedicated Leavers Assembly filled with memories and positive notes for the future. Every year, at this time, It is both a sad and a happy time for the school; to be saying goodbye to pupils who we have watched grow from boys to young men, but delighted with letting them go on to travel their next steps, knowing we have helped to prepare them for this time in their lives.
We then had a lovely couple of hours after the assembly, with refreshments, boys playing their last ever game of football in the playground and the treat of having the Slow Dough Pizza company on site to freshly make pizzas for lunch. The atmosphere was great, and a big thank you to the Year 11 team for the support given on the day and throughout the year.
Lastly, just to wish all our boys the very best in their GCSE exams that they are in the middle of.
During the half-term break, Y5 pupils from local primary schools joined us for our Year 5 Half-Term Camp.
Over two days, they took part in a wide range of activities (PE, geography, first aid, music, French and creative writing) designed by teachers to give them a true insight into life at secondary school and especially at EGS.
Thank you Year 5 for coming and thank you to our amazing teachers for putting these activities together!
A huge congratulations is due to Alfie;
Since we last posted a spotlight on his boxing successes, he was selected by England Boxing to represent his country in the Three Nations Boxing Championships in Scotland.
Alfie won a silver medal for England, and is on his way along the England Boxing pathway – this is a massive achievement, and, along with his family and friends, we are all very proud of him and wish him continued success.
Recently, a group of our Year 7 students, Harry W, Zachary M, Ben G, Pablo & Matteo R, and Harry M had the fantastic experience of playing football in Naples, Italy.
These boys all play in our EGS football team (luckily for us!), but are also in the U12s team for Enfield Town FC.
Playing for Enfield Town, they took part in the football tournament in Italy, playing against other great teams over 4 days. Winning every game they played, they returned to the UK with the winners cup!! Champions!
Congratulations boys, and may you continue to play such great football!
Our sport scholars from years 7-9 had the opportunity to watch some professional county cricket (Middx v Somerset) at Lords and play some fun games with Middlesex cricket coaches.
They practised their fielding and batting skills in the nursery pavilion and they engaged wonderfully with the cricket activities.
All of our boys represented themselves and the school excellently. Their behaviour throughout the day was fantastic.
A group of our boys even managed to complete the very difficult treasure hunt around Lord’s and won a signed Middlesex shirt!
Last week’s Year 7 music assembly was a hit, with one of our fantastic Year 7 drummers performing as well as an incredible saxophone demonstration featuring a live jazz trio made up of our music teachers, Mr Escott (bass), Dave Storey (drums) and Tom Barford (Sax)!
There’s nothing like a bit of jazz in the afternoon to send you home relaxed!
Full version:
