Wishing all our boys (Y7 through to Y10) taking part in the Enfield Schools Athletics championship Finals at Lee Valley Athletics Centre today, the best of luck – Go EGS!
This was the final section of the DofE Bronze Award that our Year 10s have been participating in since last October.
Several months of volunteering, learning a new skill and taking on a physical activity, combined with preparation sessions in school on navigating, map reading, first aid, outdoor cooking, how to pack a rucksack and 3 practice hikes all led to the final challenge of the expedition.
We are delighted to say that all our boys passed this section!
Having not run the DofE programme in EGS for several years, it has been wonderful to get it up and running again, giving our boys the opportunity of challenging themselves, learning to work as a team and getting a huge sense of achievement.
Update:
Archie finished joint 2nd in the European Pairs competition this weekend.
3 days of tough competition and racing in the heat on Friday took him through from the semi-final to the finals.

Congratulations Archie!
Archie has been selected for the Under 18 England Team at the Home International competitions.
He’s only just moved up into this age group on a new pony & had attended only one viewing trial out of two available….shows what you can do with skill, belief and determination – positive thinking, positive outcome 🙂
We wish Archie all the best in any upcoming competitions.

Special coaching sessions with the Year 7 & 8 football squads were held recently, all run by Michael Duberry and Kevin Lisbie (striker, ex professional for Charlton Athletic played in the premier league).
The sessions went really well; the boys were pushed hard and they learned a lot from the immense experience of both Michael and Kevin.
What a great opportunity and privilege for our boys to be coached by such professionals!
Thank you Michael Duberry & Kevin Lisbie .⚽
Well done Year 8!
Student Spotlight: Michael Svoboda Year 7
Michael was chosen to compete for Enfield in Trampolining in the London Youth Games.
And, although he was competing against much older boys in higher rankings, Michael’s strong performance resulted in him coming 11th individually and 5th out of the 28 represented Boroughs.
Congratulations Michael! 🥉
