A great piece of news to start our week off with;
Alfie Knipes in Year 10 fought in the England Boxing Nationals this weekend (the semi-finals on Saturday and the final held yesterday).
Alfie won his category (for his age and weight) to become No.1 in the country.
Absolutely fantastic! He fought really well throughout the weekend and has proved that all his hard work, determination and belief has paid off.
Congratulations!
Congratulations to our Year 9 Football team who rose to victory in the U14 final of the Middlesex JS Lyle Cup, joining our Year 8 team who also won their Middlesex President’s cup final less that 2 weeks ago.
A thrilling game at Rectory Park against Bishop Ramsey resulting in a 3-1 win.

Popular ancient Hindu festival, also known as the “festival of love”, the “festival of colours”, and the “festival of spring”. The festival celebrates the eternal and divine love of Radha and Krishna. It also signifies the triumph of good over evil.
It’s a two-day Hindu festival that originates in India. On the first day, people will gather around a bonfire and celebrate good triumphing over evil. But it’s the second day that most people will recognise – that’s when perfumed powder called gulal is pelted at everyone and made to stick with water pistols and balloons.
Gulal powder comes in many colours and some are thought to signify specific things:
- red = love
- blue = Krishna
- yellow = turmeric (a spice used in lots of Indian food)
- green = spring
And together, they create a glorious rainbow, usually in parks and public spaces across the globe.

At the home of Middlesex football, a much-anticipated President’s Cup Final for U13 Boys teams saw Enfield Grammar School take on Gunnersbury Catholic School from Ealing in the English Schools’ FA’s national cup.
Enfield Grammar School won the President’s Cup for a record-extending seventh time!!
Match Report from Mohammad-Yaquoob Miah Y8
The North Middlesex final was between two U13 sides of which Enfield Grammar and Gunnersbury were facing off. The two schools were incredible in their clash against one another and were great to watch.
The play commenced a little after 3:00 pm on Tuesday afternoon. Grammar were playing very well in the first 15 minutes of the match, constantly playing on the attack. Unfortunately they had conceded one from a lovely strike from the Gunnersbury striker. This didn’t stop Grammar as they pushed on and scored 2 great goals before the second half would begin. Goals from Brando and Dominic from Grammar would be ideal to give the team for confidence to start the second half.
The second half started slow between both teams with each side losing out on possession copious times. Gunnersbury had chances but Antonio(keeper for Enfield Grammar) was fantastic.
Minutes later, a substitute would be brought on named Zachery who scored a fantastic goal to earn Grammar their well deserved victory
Receiving the cup – glory!

Alfie has been boxing for 4 years now and has already won the National Schoolboy Championship for the Boxing Alliance.
In September, Alfie moved to Repton Boxing Club that is affiliated with England Boxing where he will now be competing in the National Championship being held in Chelmsford towards the end of this month.
Alfie’s goal is to one day reach the Olympics and box for his country and then move on to a professional career and win world titles. This boy has ambition, focus and determination which will go a very long way in helping him gain successes along journey.
I am sure you all join us in wishing him all the best for his upcoming match as well as fulfilling his goals. Good Luck, Alfie!

We recently took our Year 10 DofE participants on their 2nd practice hike out in Lee Valley Country Park.
Separated into 3 groups, the boys followed their maps on a circular route. They did well with no mishaps or extra miles being walked! All had a go at map reading and, overall, had a good time bonding with each other.
They completed 5 1/2 miles in a decent enough time of 2 hours. We shall be moving on to longer and slightly more challenging walks for the next practices.
One obstacle that had to be overcome was a flooded area that needed to be crossed; the debate was: walk through as fast as possible and hope for the best (as Mr Wragg & Mr Smith did!) OR boots and socks off and go barefoot (as Mrs Field & Mrs Miller did) – who do you think had warm comfy feet to finish the walk off !! And the boys…..well there was a mix of soggy and dry trainers 🙂
The DofE Leaders enjoyed it as well;’ it’s nice to see the boys ‘out of the school environment’. Participating in, and delivering the DofE programme is rewarding and an achievement for both staff and students.
