Ezra Collective Donate Some of Their Glastonbury Fees To EGS!

10th July 2023Mrs S Field

Did you see the article in last week’s Enfield Independent newspaper? If not, here is the full article online:

Musical brothers whose talent took them to Glastonbury donated some of their fee to EGS help the next generation of young musicians at their old school.

The band even gave the school a shout out during their Glastonbury performance, adding: “It’s important – give young people an instrument and give them a chance.”

Y12 Psychology & Philosophy students visit the Freud museum

6th July 2023Mrs S Field
“Out of your vulnerabilities will come your strength.” Freud 1919.
Our year 12 Psychology and Philosophy students visited the Freud museum this week.
Here, we were all able to see Freud’s last home where he and his daughter Anna Freud practiced psychoanalysis. We also saw all the artefacts Freud had a collected from the early 1900s including his famous chair.

Year 12 Science Students Visit UCL

3rd July 2023Mrs S Field
Recently, some Year 12 A-level science students were privileged to visit University College London, one of the world’s leading multidisciplinary universities who provide a huge range of high ranked Science courses.
During their visit, these students were fortunate enough to experience a day in the life of a student at UCL experiencing various sessions such as;
  • A lecture based on the introduction into Neuroscience by a leading Professor in this faculty who is also part of the admissions team
  • An insight into the lab where the scientists do research on fruit flies with new findings including treatment of some of the worlds biggest diseases and disorders
  • The opportunity to extract DNA with one of the highly skilled molecular biology and gene therapy pHD professors inside one of the UCL laboratories
These visits and drop-ins to lessons provide our students with a real taste of the next steps they could be taking in their further education journey, igniting their passion for their future and showing them how it can become achievable.
Thank you for being so welcoming UCL!

Enfield Grammar School mentioned at Glastonbury!!

26th June 2023Mrs S Field

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!

Windrush Day 2023

21st June 2023Mrs S Field

Today marks the 75th anniversary of Windrush Day, the day of the arrival of MV Empire Windrush at the port of Tilbury , near London, on 22nd June 1948. Those who arrived on the Empire Windrush, their descendants and those who followed them, have made and continue to make an enormous contribution to Britain.

The day honours the British Caribbean community, and the half a million people who travelled to the UK after the Second World War. The first Windrush Day was held on June 22 2018. There are various events being held, videos to watch and articles to read in education AND support of the Windrush Generation, and to show sympathy with and understanding of the hardships they have endured.

#StudentSpotlight : Mir H Al-Haque Year 12

3rd May 2023Mrs S Field

Mir is currently studying A-level Computer Science, Information Technology, and Media and has chosen to follow a career pathway into cyber-security.

Out of school, Mir is a corporal in our local RAF Air-Cadets; 85 Squadron in Middlesex Wing which he joined 5 years ago. This is not an extra-curricular activity to be taken lightly but one that encourages and expects loyalty, determination and effort which results in being very rewarding, as Mir has experienced.

Being an air-cadet, he has learnt new skills from first-aid to parade drills, from camping to flying and has also earned him a couple of extra B-techs along the way.

The opportunities and experiences Mir has had with the air-cadets is priceless and as well as being thoroughly enjoyable, has given him extra skills and future pathways to follow.

The photos in the video below show just what an amazing time he has had.

Well done, Mir!
