What a wonderful day full of colour!
We had so many countries represented and it was lovely to see how proud students and staff were to wear their national dress.
We were also lucky to have a ’round the world’ menu for lunch created by our catering team which was delicious…..and, yes, many of us tasted every single dish!
Throughout the day there was poetry, quizzes, learning the greetings from each other’s country and teachers incorporated world culture within their subject lessons.

It is with a heavy heart that we have to let you all know that our EGS legend, Mr Peter Gross, has passed away. Our thoughts are with his friends and family at this time. It has been wonderful to read all the messages from staff and ex-students that have been pouring in (via email, Facebook and on the EOGFC Instagram), which just affirms what a positive impact this gentleman had on the ‘EGS family’ for many many years…and still does. We were honoured to know him. RIP Peter Gross.
June is Gypsy, Roma And Traveller History Month and we have chosen, ‘The Pearl Thief’ by Elizabeth Wein as our Book of the Month.
Julie Beaufort-Stuart is a teenager who has returned from boarding school to spend one last summer on her grandfather’s Scottish estate. The old man has died and the estate is being sold to cover his debts. But there is more to this….. A man is missing, presumed murdered and the blame is falling on the McEwens, a family of Travellers, whom Julie has known for as long as she can remember. Set in 1938, the story is one of grudges, secrets, strangers, prejudice and class division, as well as a coming-of-age story and mystery.
Suggested reading for Year 10+

Throughout the day, students engaged in a dynamic blend of collaborative drama, structured spoken and written activities, live demonstrations, explicit instruction, and carefully scaffolded learning tasks. This multifaceted approach culminated in the production of original speeches — each one a compelling expression of the students’ perspectives, passions, and personal insights.
While the standard across the group was impressive, four students stood out for their eloquence, confidence, and depth of thought (Aaron Walsh, Otis Halley, Samir Habibi, Nikolas Kole). These individuals have been selected to progress to the Assembly Final, where they will deliver their speeches to the entire Year 9 cohort. The outcome of this final will determine whose speech is chosen to represent the school in the prestigious Culturally Speaking showcase.
For the second consecutive year, we were honoured to partner with the Kusuma Trust and Speakers Trust to provide a few year 9 students with a rich, curriculum-enhancing cultural experience. Thanks to their generous sponsorship, students were given the opportunity to broaden their cultural capital and deepen their appreciation of both the curriculum and the wider world.
This year’s visit took place in May, at the Imperial War Museum — an inspiring and thought-provoking setting. The visit served not only as a cultural enrichment opportunity but also as a powerful vehicle for developing key oracy skills, including public speaking, active listening, deliberation, and constructive feedback. These skills are integral to our English curriculum, particularly in exploring the Power and Conflict context and the spoken language components of the course.
Throughout the day, students engaged in a focused inquiry into the role of art in wartime. Under the expert guidance of a museum facilitator, they were introduced to the subject through a stimulating briefing, before embarking on an interactive exploration of the museum’s collection. Working collaboratively, they identified and analysed significant artworks, capturing key insights using group iPads. The visit culminated in team presentations, where students articulated their learning and reflected on the pieces that resonated with them most.It was a day of meaningful engagement, critical thinking, and expressive growth — an unforgettable experience that truly exemplified the transformative power of education beyond the classroom.
