Upcoming Football Fixtures… a busy week for our football teams!
It was fantastic to have so many families visit us on our prospective Parents Open-Evening yesterday. Both sites were buzzing with fun activities, questions and answers and lots of clear reasons given about why Enfield Grammar School is the best place for boys to come and get an all-round quality education and have lots of fun along the way.
We want our boys to remember their school days fondly, and remember the staff that work in the school as adults that know them and care for them. Every conversation is an intervention; every correction follows a connection and every boy is allowed to be themselves.
We’ve got lots of families visiting us over the next few weeks to see us in action, as choosing a school is an important decision and Open-Evenings are just a glimpse of what a school is really like.
If you couldn’t make the evening and would like a tour with your Year 5 or Year 6 son then please contact the Headteacher, Mr Lamb, at [email protected].
Come and see what we’ve got to offer; we think you’ll be impressed.
We’ve put together a few images of before and during the evening and must give a special mention to:
- our wonderful piano player, Felix
- our guitar busker, Charlie
- our Duke of Edinburgh students supervising the marshmallow toasting
- the superb speeches by Kyan and Heath
- the student-led band, Space Goose, jamming all evening at Lower
- our student tour guides
- our student traffic controllers
- student helpers in each department
- and lastly, but not at all least, to all our dedicated staff
Here is your round-up for the month of September….
Behaviour, courtesy, uniform, work ethic, involvement, helpfulness, beautiful books, attendance, and of course, ‘tant que je puis’ (as much as I can) is all taken into consideration plus much more – so just be the best version of YOU!
Watch out for the monthly updates to see how your House is performing….
What position will your house be in at the end of October??

The first meeting of this academic year is on Wednesday 18 September at 7.30pm – it would be wonderful to see some new faces come along – all parents/carers, friends & family, school staff are welcome.
With the first full day of all students back in/completing induction nearly over, we have to say it was lovely to have the ‘school buzzing’ again.
We hope the Year 7s enjoyed their introduction to their new school day and that our new Year 12s are settling in.
Now it’s time to get the ball rolling with students gathering up as many house points as possible! There is everything to play for and we already have some scores on the first day back!
Behaviour, courtesy, uniform, work ethic, involvement, helpfulness, beautiful books, attendance, and of course, ‘tant que je puis’ (as much as I can) is all taken into consideration plus much more – so just be the best version of YOU!
