Good Luck to all our teams playing in semi-finals and finals this coming week!
We are supporting National Careers Week.
However, as a school, we continually strive to find opportunities and progression pathways for our students throughout the year by holding careers fairs, work experience, apprenticeship options and fairs, guest speakers, university visits and various trips etc.
We are lucky to have Ms Jean-Louis (careers lead) on-site to offer support and advice to our students and has planned an all day Employability Skills event for Friday.
Students- visit our library for more careers information.
Recently we had some employers come in to share their apprenticeship programmes on offer and we have our Year 10s off for 2 weeks work experience soon – looking forward to hear their feedback after a taste in the world of work!

We always wish all our teams good luck but this week a special good luck to the teams playing Borough Cup Semi-Finals….come on EGS!
What a buzz!
There was magic wafting around, there was mystery murder going on in the library (!), there was even green eggs and ham on the lunch menu ..
The English department delivered some great WBD lessons for KS3 – we’ve have already had some Year 7s asking about “Lord of the Flies” and whether we have it in the library and there was a class debate over the Life of Pi….film versus book.
Form Tutors supported all the action by running the Form Time quiz
Ms Broadley and the Food Tech staff created more famous “Ms Broadley variety packs”
Mrs Rudolph coped rather well with a murder in her library, as well as organising student librarian competitions.
Running up to book day Mrs Rudolph was holding the Battle of the Books with years 7 & 8 – the winning book as voted b the students was: Black Brother, Black Brother by Jewell Parker Rhodes
And, last but not least……we have our special guest visitor coming in………………BREIS!!
Winners of the Short Story competition: Eren, Jio & Thishan
Winners of the Design a Book Cover competition: Walied, Ibrahim & Alex
Congratulations Boys – vouchers on their way to you!
So that’s a wrap for another year but until then……….KEEP READING!
On Friday 25th of February, 16 year 12’s and myself went to the Royal Institution in London for Maths Fest. A great day was had by all in a beautiful building. The speakers were engaging and the topics they covered interesting.
We learnt how statistics is used to verify whether a new drug is effective, how data can be misleading and that you must look at the bigger picture and how WIFI and phone signals work so we can all use our mobile phones at the same time without the signals being blocked by someone else’s device.
We also learnt about the lesser known Lorenzo machine the top Nazi generals used in WW2 to communicate between each other which was cracked by a team effort of a linguist, mathematician and engineer. This machine was reversed engineered.
In the afternoon we learnt about cake envy – how do you cut a cake so no one is envious about the slice of cake someone else receives. Seems like a trivial problem until it is put into the real life context of international relations.
We also learnt how Pythagoras worked on music chords which culminated with speaker and mathematician Ben Sparks singing to us with his twin brother on the screen.
Here is what some of our students thought of the day:
A very fun and educational trip to the magnificent royal institute, and I found out that maths is involved in many different aspects of life
Life changing experience
It was interesting seeing how the mathematics of sharing a chocolate cake could relate to the broader topic of international relations
