Posted on: 12/09/2025Maths HomeworkStarting 11th September Students in Years 8-10 Will Use Sparx Maths for Weekly Homework. What is Sparx Maths Homework? Sparx Maths provides personalised, achievable homework tailored to each student’s needs. Most questions are based on recent learning, with some review of past topics to reinforce knowledge. Homework is completed online, with instant feedback, but students are expected to show their working in their workbooks. Sparx includes “bookwork checks” to encourage this habit. Each question comes with a support video, helping students work independently when they need assistance. Homework will be set and due every week on a Thursday How Can You Support Your Child with Sparx Homework? Provide a quiet space for focused work. Encourage them to start early in case they need help from their teacher. Homework must be fully completed—all compulsory questions must be attempted. Check Sparx’s weekly email and praise their effort. Remind them to finish before the deadline. What Support is Available in School? Maths homework club will take place in H1 after school on the following days Monday for Year 7 and Year 8 Tuesday for Year 9 and Year 10 If you have any questions, please contact your child's Maths teacher
Posted on: 5/09/2025Attendance & PunctualityWe’d like to remind families about the importance of regular attendance and being on time to school. Arriving on time helps students start the day calmly, stay engaged, and not miss important instructions. It also teaches responsibility and good habits. Frequent absences, even just a few days each month, can affect a student’s progress and confidence. We understand that illness and emergencies happen, but we ask that appointments and travel be scheduled outside school hours whenever possible. Please remember: Gates open at 8:20am. Arriving late can disrupt learning. Email attendance@egas.islington@sch.uk or log on Arbor if your child will be absent, ideally before 9am. For extended absences please complete a term time application (link: https://www.egaschool.co.uk/1525/application-for-leaveof-absence-in-term-time) Thank you for your support in making punctuality and attendance a priority. If you have any questions or need assistance, feel free to contact us.
Posted on: 22/05/2025League WinnersCongratulations to the year 7 team who dominated in their final performance in the Islington schools league, finishing 1st place after 4 weeks and not losing a single match. I would like to mention some stand out performances from our captain Elsie who was the team's top goal scorer, scoring some outstanding goals. Bakita and Mehana were also an incredible support in the midfield, scoring and assisting goals. A massive well done to the defence with excellent leadership from Daisy and Chiamaka, only conceding 1 goal across the 4 weeks.
Posted on: 9/05/2025Identity WeekThe unique thing about our school is its wide diversity and Identity Week, ending with a non-school uniform day on Friday, reminds every staff and pupil how special they are. Identity Week has been an important part of the EGA calendar for a few years and each year, we aim to teach everyone about a different aspect of Equality, Diversity and Inclusion. Our theme this year was 'Who Am I?' where student leaders led assemblies and a Thought For The Week to discuss the importance of acceptance and allyship, understanding intersectionality and recognising that humans are wonderful and complex. This year Identity Week also supports ActionAid, a charity working to end violence and fighting poverty so that all women and girls, everywhere, can create the future they want. We Raised £309.77
