At EGS, we will be marking this significant moment in our nation’s history during form time and appropriate curriculum slots this week.
VE Day – Victory in Europe Day – on 8 May 1945, marked the end of the Second World War in Europe. It was a day of immense relief, celebration, and reflection across the UK and beyond. We will encourage our students to understand the profound sacrifices made, the human stories behind the headlines, and the enduring importance of peace and unity.
Resources we will be using are from the British Legion/ and the Imperial War Museum and we will also have material available in the Library for students to come along and look at.
This is a meaningful opportunity to help our students connect with a pivotal moment in our shared history, and to consider what remembrance and resilience mean to us today.
A few lucky students from our school had the incredible opportunity to visit Baller League UK at the Copper Box Arena—a well-earned reward for their outstanding attitude to learning this past term.
Baller League UK offers a unique fusion of football and technology, bringing fans closer to the action with interactive activities through QR codes. Our students were amazed by the fast-paced matches and the innovative twists that keep the league exciting.
With football legends like Ian Wright and John Terry managing the teams, the competition was intense. One of the standout moments was experiencing the Game Changer, a thrilling feature that can completely shift the outcome of a match in the final three minutes!
This trip not only gave our students a great view for the new era of football but also sparked curiosity about the technology behind it. Who knows? In the future, we might see some of our own students on the pitch or working behind the scenes on the cutting-edge tech that makes this league so special.

Plus, the legendary Micah Richards, John Terry, Alan Shearer, Freddie Ljungberg, Jens Lehmann, Robert Pirès & more will step in as coaches.

On Friday 25 April, the Dugdale Centre in Enfield played host to a moving and powerful tribute to Stuart Lawrence, an event sponsored by Nexus and expertly organised by Nexus ambassador, Anna Vaughan. The evening brought together members of the community, civic leaders, educators, and young people to honour the profound impact of Stuart’s work and legacy, while also reflecting on the injustice endured by his brother, Stephen Lawrence.
A standout moment of the evening came from Enfield Grammar School student, Micah Olowu, who was specially invited to perform a spoken word piece, which was a well-deserved opportunity following his stunning performance at the same venue as part of the Write2Speak group. Once again, Micah captivated the audience with his eloquence, passion, and deep sense of justice. His piece paid tribute to Stuart’s inspiring activism while courageously expressing his personal disapproval of the tragic events surrounding Stephen Lawrence’s death.
Micah’s performance was nothing short of remarkable and quickly became the highlight of the evening. He was met with heartfelt applause and warm commendations from his peers, the Lawrence family, the Mayor of Enfield (Cllr Mohammad Islam), Leader of Enfield Borough Council (Cllr Ergin Erbil), several headteachers, teachers, parents, and other specially invited guests in attendance. His powerful words resonated with all present, affirming the importance of youth voice in continuing the fight for justice and equality.
Following his performance, Micah was briefly interviewed, where his passion for speech and justice for all shone through once more. He spoke about the months-long process of developing his spoken word piece, describing the emotional depth and reflection that went into every line. He also used the opportunity to express his appreciation for the diversity and inclusivity nurtured at Enfield Grammar School – values clearly reflected in the school’s culture and curriculum, which he credited as helping shape both his identity and his voice.
Among those visibly moved by the performance were Micah’s proud parents and his teacher, Ms. Senior, who accompanied him to the event. Their pride was shared by all in the room, as Micah’s contribution reinforced not only his talent, but also the enduring relevance of the Lawrence legacy in today’s society.
The afternoon stood as a beacon of remembrance, resilience, and hope – with Micah Olowu’s performance serving as a poignant reminder that the torch of justice continues to be carried by a new, powerful generation.

#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”
