Race To The Line 2025

3rd June 2025Mrs S Field

The annual Year 7 Science Department challenge has once again taken place: Race To The Line 2025.

Student teams compete to design and build the fastest rocket-powered car using the same propulsion method over an 8-metre track. The winning car combines efficient aerodynamics, low mass, and durable, low-friction wheels to handle high-speed forces.

Race day was full of excitement and adrenaline and saw Riley, Mark and Mohammed come out as the winners – congratulations! They will now be off to nationals with Dr Frimpong to compete with other winners across the country – where they will once again, design a race car and compete for the crown!

A huge thank you to ‘Fairview New Homes Limited’ for sponsoring this brilliant experience for our year 7’s.

#StudentSpotlight: Ben Mamen Year 11

22nd May 2025Mrs S Field

Ben, recently named Clubman of the Year at Enfield Town FC, made a significant impact as a volunteer over the past six months. He managed the club’s social media, capturing and sharing content across various platforms which helped grow the club’s audience.

Gabriel Meytanis, Director of ETFC, says that Ben consistently dedicated 5–6 hours on matchdays and sometimes covered training sessions midweek as well as working closely with the first team. His skills in photography, editing, and graphic design have noticeably improved and he also showed strong initiative, teamwork, communication, and problem-solving abilities.

Having built strong relationships across the club, Ben has also inspired other volunteers. His contributions have been invaluable, and his continued involvement is highly encouraged.

His Volunteering with ETFC stemmed from him participating in the Duke of Edinburgh (DofE) Silver Award and has resulted in realising that he has additional talents to those he already has!

Well done, Ben!

#StudentSpotlight: Young Litigators Hasan & Farouk

20th May 2025Mrs S Field

Congratulations to Year 10 boys, Hasan Biyan and Farouk Kodjoe (named best speaker), and thank you to Ms Senior for bringing this initiative into school. We look forward to meeting representatives from the Young Litigators Project next month when they visit us.

This is one of our new extra-curricular offerings where the students engage in debates, case analysis and mock trials which teaches them about the law and British values whilst honing their critical thinking and reasoning skills, building confidence in writing and public speaking, as well as learning how to work effectively as part of a team.

#BookOfTheMonth: May

19th May 2025Mrs S Field

May is Mental Health Awareness Month and in supporting MHAM, we have chosen, ‘The Teenage Guide To Stress’ by Nicola Morgan. Also, very apt as exam season has just started. This is a fantastic book which looks at the specific worries and fears of teenagers and suggests positive strategies for healthy minds and bodies.

It is available to borrow, along with other similar books, in the Upper School Library.
