In a recent project, a group of our Year 10s, mentored by Mr Pieri, won the right to represent the Tottenham Hotspur Foundation for the Premier League Inspires Challenge.
Their Social Action Project was to put on an event for the local elderly to help them overcome difficulties they have endured over the past 15 months. However after a thorough Risk Assessment (which formed part of the boys’ action plan) the event turned into a ‘Thank You’ afternoon for school staff to show gratitude for all they have done since last March to support students.
This project has afforded these boys the opportunity to experience positive consequences from their positive work and was celebrated last Friday with tea and cakes!
Well done Gianni, Jahmar, Darius, Hashim and Matthew.
Thank you to Myri from Tottenham Hotspur Foundation, for all his work with the boys. Thank you to Lisa Piggott from the Premier League and to the Tottenham Hotspur football scholars, one of whom is an ex-grammar boy, Romaine Mundle.
And, of course, thank you to Mr Pieri who doesn’t like to miss out on a photo opportunity!
The Home Office, in partnership with the Metropolitan Police, offered our school a free programme with the award winning safeguarding organisation, The Safety Box Youth Programmes CIC, to deliver a personal development and safeguarding programme to our Year 10 students.
The Safety Box are accredited through AQA and specialise in helping young people and young adults develop important skills such as leadership, communication, team working, presentation, conflict resolution, personal development and problem solving. As a school, we recognise these extra-curricular activities are some of the essential keys to success and that they are a platform on which to build employability skills and future well-being.
The school has been very lucky to receive this fully funded workshop supported by the London Borough of Enfield to help our pupils succeed and above all keep them safe on the streets.
AWAKENING THE POTENTIAL OF YOUTH & KEEPING THEM SAFE
With almost 15 years of experience, we teach simple in depth, effective tactics to reduce violence and avoid threat, we awaken the potential of young people and above all keep them safe.

From The Safety Box:
The Safety Box ® CIC programs are accredited through AQA and are a refined system of training and development in helping young people and young adults develop important skills such as leadership, communication, team working, presentation, high risk conflict resolution, violence reduction, personal development and problem solving. We recognise that these are some of the essential keys to success. They open doors to learning, to life in addition to work. They are a platform on which to build employability skills and the gateway to future well-being and prosperity.
Many of our programs have been developed because there is a growing need to demonstrate to young adults that there are ways to avoid gangs bullying, harassment or more serious, violent situations. Where avoiding threat is not possible, we show how to manage and control dangerous situations.
Did you know that many of everyday life inventions, still used nowadays across the world, were created by Black inventors?
The three-light traffic light, the improved ironing board, refrigerated trucks, automatic elevators doors, the carbon light bulb filament, the sanitary belt revolutionising menstrual pads… Wonderful contributions that made our daily life much easier!
“Every person is born with a creative mind. Everyone has that ability.” – Mary Beatrice Davidson Kenner, Black woman inventor

The Music Department was very pleased to hold an end of term Concert on Tuesday, 6th July.
Due to the rainy weather, this was moved from an outside venue at Lower School into the Main Hall where we welcomed an audience of Year 7 students.
This was our first live concert since February 2020 and our bands were so pleased to finally get back on stage! The bands were all year group based and have been rehearsing both online and at live rehearsals since the Autumn term. They all performed so well and really showed what hard work, commitment and love of music can do.
Thanks to every student who rehearsed and performed and to the tutors who have supported them.
After competing at the British Individual Championships and achieving 5th place and highest placed boy award, Archie in Year 9, has now been selected for the South of England Team at this year’s Home Internationals. Congratulations, yet again, Archie.

You may recall that during October 2020, I hosted a number of online forums with parents/carers to discuss issues around Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI). From these meetings a working party was set up and we have reviewed the progress that the School has made against our EDI objectives set for 2020-21 EDI and have set new objectives for 2021-22.
I would like to meet with any parents/carers who would like an update on our Equality, Diversity and Inclusion objectives and on how parents/carers can help plan for EDI events in the next academic year.
The meeting, will be held remotely via ‘Zoom’ at 6pm on Wednesday 21 July 2021.
All parents/carers are invited to this meeting. You will be able to book your space using the booking platform called ‘Eventbrite’.

Well that was close!
Luckily, Year 7 managed to miss the rain and thunder yesterday and were able to enjoy some well deserved reward activities.
Their Activity Day; #rockclimbing #archery #aeroball #lasertag.
Lovely to see the boys support and encourage each other.
Well done Year 7 for all you have achieved this year.
