#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”

EGS Alumni Football Club!

28th March 2025Mrs S Field

EGS Old Boys Football Club (EGS OB FC) is the official alumni football club for Enfield Grammar School, made up of former students from the age of 16 years, and growing every year. We play competitive football in the AFA League with four adult Saturday teams and a Vets side – all currently in the top four of their leagues.

This season’s been a big one:

  • 1st XI reached two cup finals and a semi-final. Watch this space!
  • 2s are in a final and made a quarter-final.
  • 3s, 4s, and Vets all made semi-finals.

We pride ourselves on the quality of football and the strong community vibe. Our close link with Enfield Town FC helps us stay connected to the local football scene, and we’re always looking to bring through fresh talent from EGS.

We also film our games using VEO, with highlights published on Instagram. One of our goals this season went viral, racking up 2.7 million views, 55k likes, and even getting featured on Dutch Match of the Day – where Marco van Basten and other World Cup legends had their say!

Watch it here:

If you’re a current or recent student who wants to keep playing at a high level, build lasting connections, and maybe even make your name online – reach out and get involved.

Starlight Express!

18th March 2025Mrs S Field
We took 10 of our fantastic EGS Music Scholars to see Andrew Lloyd Webber’s classic Starlight Express in Wembley last night. What a fantastic show! The boys had a brilliant time and were mesmerised by the spectacle of the show and very impressed by the music (and the roller skating of course!).

Visit to Abbey Road Institute

11th March 2025Mrs S Field

“Where The Music Magic Happens”……Yesterday saw the sixth form music tech boys and some GCSE music students head to the Abbey Road Institute, at Angel studios, Islington. This iconic studio was host to Adele’s 21, Rush’s Power Windows, as well as albums by Courtney Pine, Sam Smith, Robbie Williams and Fela Kuti. At this site, students can take an intensive one year course in music production.

The boys were thrilled to look around the live rooms and production suites and taste the musical history of quite a magical place.

Ezra Collective @EGS: Music and the important role of schools and youth clubs

5th March 2025Mrs S Field

From receiving their Best British Group award and performing at the Brits on Saturday, Femi, TJ and Joe, of Ezra Collective returned to school yesterday to film a clip for BBC Newsround that was aired this morning. They spoke with our music scholars, reminisced and generously donated some musical instruments to our music department.
It is truly wonderful to see how these young boys who came to us in year 7, having worked hard to followed their dream, and have flourished into talented, kind and generous men, living the life they aspired to. Is this not testament to all the passionate, caring teachers and youth club leaders in the world?!
