Congratulations to all of our Y10 DofE boys – they were challenged, they survived and they conquered!
Hiking several kilometres further than in their practice, all groups made it to the camping area, pitched their tents, cooked their meals and experienced an independent outdoor experience. And we are pleased to say, that the next day, they all made it back in one piece!
Now, who’s up to take on the challenge of the Silver Award??!
Summertime at school.
We’ve had some warm and sunny days recently and, for school staff, it’s lovely to sit back and watch the students playing on the lawn in our beautiful lower school grounds.
Thank you Mrs Chrysanthou for sharing the photos 🙂

On Wednesday night, our very own Shakithyan performed at the Dugdale Centre as part of Enfield Music Service’s solo Vocal Recital.
He did brilliantly, singing Save Your Tears by the Weeknd.
Shakithyan is the first student to represent EGS at these yearly events and we hope he is first of many!
A massive well done to all who took part in our final Interhouse of the year where our students had the chance to show off their athletics skills at Lee Valley Athletics track on Friday.
Cheered on by their teachers and classmates, there were some exceptional performances on both the track and in the field.
The students represented their house and the school amazingly well!!

A massive shout out to our Year 10 DofE boys who were all formidable this weekend. Following on from Sports Day on Friday, these boys came out fully loaded to learn all the necessary skills required to complete their Bronze expedition this coming weekend.
Hiking about 12 km from Lower School, learning navigation skills along the way, they arrived at our overnight site in Cuffley where (once rehydrated), they learnt to set up camp, cook on outdoors camping stoves and plan their routes for next week.
We can truly say that these boys did Enfield Grammar School proud with their dedication, motivation and behaviour throughout the weekend, especially in such challenging high temperatures.
We hope you feel proud of yourselves for this achievement and that you enjoyed the experience.
Thank you to the staff who gave up their own time to teach the skills and support the boys.
Now…..(without staff guidance, and hiking to a different site) you’ve just got to do it all over again this coming weekend!! 😃😜
Well done boys!!
Two of our ‘old boys’ were performing at Glastonbury this weekend and we even got a shout out when Femi spoke on the importance of offering a music pathway to our youth.
Femi and TJ Koleoso from Ezra Collective were fully dedicated members of the music department, playing in several bands and at all of our concerts and even winning the Battle of the Bands three years in a row!
Both play with Ezra Collective, a jazz fusion band, and Femi also drums with Gorillaz.
They played an amazing set at Glastonbury and really worked the crowd – it’s an awesome watch. Click here to watch their set: https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/p0ft6scc/glastonbury-ezra-collective
They have come a long way……. from Room C12 in the music block to Glastonbury!
