What a night! We ended last term with a musical extravaganza....

Our Latin Night was a huge success! Super proud of all the performers. Seeing them progress more and more at each concert is a real treat. Shout out to the drumming club who made their debut and absolutely smashed it! Great atmosphere - thank you to all who came.

Now on to rehearse for our final concert of the year....... The Music Soiree: Back to the 70s...... on 14 July.

Ashes57 is an accomplished photographer, illustrator and designer; here is a collage from some of our Year 7 interpretations of her style incorporating, cityscapes, landscapes, thinking of form and perspective, detail and bursts of colour......it's visually very striking!

Congratulations to our three EGS students who competed last week in the Middlesex Athletics ESAA Qualifiers.
They came in 6th, 7th and 9th places but, unfortunately, did not qualify for the England National Athletics event as only one competitor from each county is chosen.
However, coming in 6th, 7th and 9th in the whole of Middlesex is an incredible achievement.
Well done boys!

*** Update: the cricket matches on Saturday against Highgate have been cancelled***

Upcoming Fixtures......
Wishing all the students the best of luck in their cricket games and athletics competition

The Month of May is Mental Health Awareness Month.
There has been a display in the library for pupils shadowing the Penguin Books coverage that is all about 'movement and the many ways it can improve your wellbeing and quality of life'. Harnessing the power of movement the display promotes the best reads and resources.

With Half-Term upon us, not only can you indulge in some reading, but you can also take the wellbeing advice to get 'moving'; exercise, walk, play sports etc... especially good advice for all those in the midst of exams who will be spending much time revising...

Wishing you all a healthy half-term break.

Another trip into London for some of our pupils on the Future Frontiers programme.
A valuable opportunity delivered to students by the charity Future Frontiers, who offer coaching, advice and guidance to help young people realise their potential and support further education from age 16. This includes business coaching and exploring various career interests to produce a personalised action plan.
And, in addition to this, the boys get to see some of our iconic London landmarks!

Just a reminder that tomorrow is the Latin Night Concert with Friends of Enfield Grammar School running a bar.... 🪇

With the sponsorship of the Kasuma Trust and the Speakers Trust, students were given the exciting opportunity to visit the Charles Dickens Museum last week.

The museum's education team delivered interactive and informative workshops and guided tours, which allowed the students to connect with Dickens on a personal level and deepen their understanding of the Victorian era. Among other things, the students were impressed with the realistic table settings which very clearly demonstrated the class difference that persisted during the period, and they found the idea of having a pet crow rather humorous.

Supervised by Ms. Senior, Ms. Ishaq, and Mr. McKoy, the trip was a resounding success, with the students fully engaged in the tour and inspired by it. In fact, the students responded so well to questions asked that the museum staff commented, "They were brilliant!" at the end of the tour.

Overall, the visit was a valuable and enriching experience for the students, and one that will hopefully inspire them to explore their own creativity and imagination.

Here's an easy way to raise extra money via our PTA (FEGS) and it doesn't cost you anything at all; when you shop online, the company donates a percentage straight to the FEGS charity.

➡️Passion
➡️Resilience
➡️Integrity
➡️Determination
➡️Empathy

They realised that it spelt PRIDE and so came about our new school values......completely created by the students!...Perfect!

Cricket Fixtures for this week....

As we close our doors today for the holiday period, we would like to thank our EGS community (parents, students, staff, governors & supporters) for all their support and to wish you all a happy, healthy and safe Christmas break. See you all in January 2024!

Monday night saw the first of what hopefully will become an annual event, the Christmas Jingle & Mingle for our ex-students. It was lovely to see 'old boys' spanning over many years and interesting to hear old stories about the school and what they are all doing now. We had some f our current sixth formers on hand who took them on tours of the school.
Thank you to all of those who came along, especially it being a Monday night!

Enfield Grammar School (that has been part of Enfield for a very long time!) is relaunching their 'Old Boys Association' (Alumni) with a Jingle & Mingle event and would love to have as many generations as possible represented. The OBA has been going for over 100 years and we would like to see it going on for another 100!

The invite was extended to all of our ex-students, from those who are currently at university through to those who may have 'more distant memories'(!) of their school days, including past employees (support and teaching staff).

The Old Boys Association has dwindled over the last few years and EGS decided it was time to step up and try to rejuvenate it. We, along with a couple of key 'Old Boys' who have kept their website going, will continue to build on the membership year on year in the hope that we can reintroduce the large annual silver service dinner and some sporting events.

If you were a member of the school and would like to be added to our database to be advised of any such future events, then please email the office for the attention of Mrs Field/Mrs Walsh. [email protected]

Ms Brimble (Science teacher) and Ms King (science technician), from our EGS Science Department, took a group of our Year 7 students to St Andrew's School to support their Year 1 topic of 'materials' by holding a science workshop on the changing properties of smart materials.

Our students helped the St Andrews pupils carry out 7 science 'practicals' (experiments) including using thermoplastics, indicators and electro-fabrics.

It was a big success; everyone had fun learning and understanding and it is lovely to have a supportive relationship with our local primary schools.

Reminder that school closes at 3.05pm today!
