Prize Giving – Wednesday 15 December 2021

Further to Mr Lamb’s letter of 16 November 2021, he would like to inform those invited to attend, that with regret, he has decided to cancel the Prize Giving celebration on Wednesday 15 December 2021, along with the Jingle & Mingle event.

This is in light of advice from the Local Education Authority and the need to safeguard planned family celebrations and interactions at this time of the year.

Jingle & Mingle ‘Old Boys’ Event Cancelled….

7th December 2021Mrs S Field

Due to the concerns of the Covid-19 Omicron variant and the rising numbers of cases across Enfield and indeed across the country, Mr Lamb has taken the decision to cancel this year’s Jingle and Mingle event.

Mr Lamb hopes that it will be possible to re-arrange in the near future, and wishes you all a Very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. 😊🎄

Christmas Carols in Enfield Town

6th December 2021Mrs S Field

A group of our brass, woodwind and other players will be performing Christmas Carols in Enfield Town tomorrow, 7th December from 2.30 – 4.00pm (outside Costa in Palace Gardens Exchange shopping centre). This has been an annual event for many years (until last year) and this year we are raising money for Love is Kind (a domestic violence charity) and Shelter. If you happen to be free during that time or in Enfield after school, it would be lovely if you could pop along and say hello.

All those who are taking part in playing Christmas Carols this afternoon in Enfield Town are to meet in the Main Hall at Upper School at 2pm. 

Any Year 7 and Year 8 coming from Lower School, please meet Mrs Penfold in the Music Office at 13.50pm to walk to Upper.

You will then all walk over to Enfield Town together with the music staff

 

#FavouriteBookFriday with Mrs Rudolph

3rd December 2021Mrs S Field
#FavouriteBookFriday with Mrs Rudolph; ROOFTOPPERS by Katherine Rundell
I absolutely love this story because it is a story about the power of hope!
Lose yourself in a book where you will start an adventure in London and finish in Paris, meet feral youths called ‘Rooftoppers’ and fight  the ‘Gariers’.
The story is set around 1900, is whimsical, (the humour is wonderful) and poetic. Will eccentric Charles the scholar and Sophie be successful in finding her mother?
“Never ignore a possible.”
