#AlumniSpotlight: Sean Sinanan – a future leader…

22nd April 2025Mrs S Field
#AlumniSpotlight: Sean Sinanan
 
A great post on LinkedIn (www.linkedin.com/feed/activity)  written by one of our ex-students (and ex-Head Boy) who embraced our motto of ‘As much as I can’ and is definitely a promoter for our Boy to Man campaign.
It’s wonderful to see what paths our students take after leaving us, and Sean has proved that hard work and determination does pay off. Like Sean we believe that giving support and a little help along the way is valuable and also helps to show someone that they are worth it and that we believe in them.
“Since my time at Oxford University, I’ve prioritised solving real-world challenges through technology, currently leading Impact at Plinth where our mission is to drive AI and technology adoption across the not-for-profit sector to build capacity and unleash the potential of community organisations across the world.
Prior to this I spent two years driving our mission from pre-seed to seed stage, creating solutions to accelerate the UK’s journey to Net Zero.
Alongside this, I’ve founded a successful political consultancy, was involved in launching London’s first third-space for aspiring founders, and built a strong online personal presence through my online video content, engaging 30,000+ followers and reaching 20M+ views”

Battle of the Bands Rocked!

14th April 2025Mrs S Field

Just before we broke up for the Easter break, 15 bands battled it out at our annual Battle of the Bands competition.

Every band brought the house down with their phenomenal performances and made it incredibly difficult for our judges to choose the winners.

We welcomed back ex-Grammar boys Emre Nalbantoglu (@emrenalbant._) and Romeo Gjakova (@romeoagrela) as our special guest judges, who were so torn about their decisions because the level of talent was so high throughout the evening.

A number of prizes were awarded, so congratulations to the following students:
• Musical Hero – Aaron Boakye
• Best Featured Instrument (Junior) – Nicolas Gills
• Best Featured Instrument (Senior) – James Lovell
• Best Drummer – Barnaby Desoer
• Best Vocalist – Jack Majer
• Best Piano Player – Fenton Tebb
• Best Bassist – Alex Smol
• Best Guitarist – Theo Chrysanthou

There was a huge amount of anticipation to see which band would take the trophy for Best Band.….. It was finally revealed that GROOVE BAND won following their awesome mash up of Backstreet Boys’ Backstreet’s Back and Muse’s Time is Running Out.

Congratulations to the band!

We are so proud of our students for their absolutely fantastic performances. It is a privilege to be part of their musical journey’s and we very much look forward to seeing what they produce in our final concert of the year, the Summer Soiree on Friday 11 July 2025.

Thank you to everyone who came along and to FEGS for running the bar.

We hope to see you all at the Summer Soiree!

World Book Day 2025

14th April 2025Mrs S Field

Catching up on some past events that we didn’t cover last term……

EGS had an amazing time celebrating World Book Day this year!

It began with welcoming Breis – author, rapper and poet – to our school to run a writing workshop with some selected Year 9 students. The students really enjoyed the session and wrote some beautiful spoken word poems/raps.

On World Book Day itself, we had our annual Murder Mystery in the Upper School Library for
selected year 8 students, World Book Day themed lessons, form-time quizzes and the ‘Staff Dress-Up’ Competition. Our lovely kitchen staff provided an amazing World Book Day menu and our Art Department promoted the National Book Token Competition. The pupil librarians ran two separate competitions; one was a word search and the other was ‘Guess the Book in the Jar’.

There was a real buzz around reading – a wonderful and exciting day!

HOUSEPOINTS Update:

With St Andrews out in front and Forty dragging their heels a bit, we need a big push from everyone next term to find out which house are the champions of the 2024-25 academic year!

  • PRIDE: Passion, Resilience, Integrity, Determination, Empathy

Happy Easter everyone – stay safe, healthy and happy. If you’re revising, remember to take breaks, sleep well and keep hydrated.

Super proud to announce that our Year 11 football team won the Borough Cup Final yesterday against Latymer. It was a close and tense finish as the score of 2-2 went to penalties.
Congratulations boys!
And thank you to our sports department who have trained and supported them throughout the year.
