To celebrate Men’s Health Awareness Month, our Book Of The Month is ‘Positively Teenage’ by Nicola Morgan.
The library has helpful books covering a whole range of worries that teenagers may have. The books include positive strategies for healthy minds and bodies, and will give you reassurance that you are not alone. The books will be on display (they can be borrowed) in the library. If you are not sure, please speak to Mrs Rudolph, Library Manager.
Positively Teenage gives you tools to approach your teenage years with optimism and understanding and to develop real wellbeing for life.
The media so often portray adolescence negatively but this book shows you how to approach these years far more positively so that you can really flourish and be in control. You’ll find simple strategies to develop a positive attitude, growth mindset, self-understanding, determination and resilience and you’ll see how those strengths will help you cope with any challenges, enjoy life and achieve your potential.
Full of practical, proven strategies for physical and mental health, Positively Teenage will show you lots of ways to flourish physically and mentally – from doing things you enjoy to learning new skills; looking after your diet, exercise and attitude to being healthy online; getting great sleep to understanding your personality – allowing you to take control of many areas of your life. With these new strengths and skills, you can survive any storms and thrive on the challenges of your exciting life.
Scattered throughout are POSITIVE BOOSTS: quick ideas for actions you can take to build positivity and wellbeing. Add them into your life and use your imagination and your new understanding to invent others.
Positively Teenage gives you the power to let yourself flourish, achieve and be who you want to be. Use your powers well! Be truly, positively, teenage! Stand tall, stretch your arms wide, take a deep breath and say, loudly (or in your head), ‘I can do this!’

The Enfield team are scouting for cross-country runners for the upcoming London Youth Games – all details in the poster below:
Here are some more results from the games last week.
It was a very busy week and EGS were amazing – look at these results!
Congratulations to every single team!
On Friday we took Music Scholars, Music GCSE BTEC and A Level students, as well as members of our newly formed Student Leadership Team to the Dugdale Centre to watch a talk called “Dropping Knowledge”.
Award winning DJ and producer, DJ Mark Anthony took us through the history of black music as part of our ongoing celebrations for Black History Month. We learnt about and listened to an array of inspiring black musicians and explored their significance in music history.
The students were fantastic and we even had a couple of them get up to demonstrate their best Michael Jackson “Thriller” dance. We very much look forward to Part 2 of the talk.
Here are the results from previous games and the fixtures scheduled so far for this week:
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
