Posted on: 2/11/2022Languages Spelling BeeOn Wednesday 2nd November Year 7 competed in a Spelling Bee competition in French and Spanish. Our Spanish winner, Bushra, writes: "I practised with Señora Lezard , and with my friends at break and lunch every day. At home I tested myself and got my siblings to test me. I was scared at first because I get stage fright when I'm in front of lots of people, but I figured I could just look down while I was on stage. My friends cheered me on and encouraged me so I tried my best. I was very happy when I won because I practised a lot." Well done to all our competitors - they showed great courage to stand up and perform on stage under the lights!
Posted on: 14/10/2022Attendance and Punctuality WeekThis week, year 9 celebrated 100% attendance and punctuality during their assembly. Real-life scenarios were proposed to students for them to consider. For example, students were asked 'what would happen if you were five minutes late for your flight?' or 'what would happen if you were 5 minutes late to an interview?' Year 9 students made excellent contributions and were able to make the link between punctuality to school and long term benefits. We ended the assembly on a very positive note where students' names were entered into a random name picker for their chance to go on a rewards trip.
Posted on: 13/01/2022Year 9 MFL StarsMany Year 9s have been working incredibly hard during their mocks and several have achieved grades 9s and 8s. Names to note include: Sabrina, Samiat and Liyaana. Talitha is currently exceeding her own expectations in Spanish. She is focused and has raised her mock grade 2 levels to a 7! She was initially doing a foundation paper but is now set to do the higher and keeps on being an example of what hard work and dedication can achieve at EGA! If you want to raise your grades, try forming a study group with those who have raised their grades or are achieving higher grades and find out what they are doing differently to you. If you want to know where you may need to focus your attention, book an appointment with your language teacher and they will be happy to point you in the right direction. Be proud of your achievements!

Posted on: 24/11/2021KS4 VolleyballBy Lola in Year 11 On Wednesday, the 24th of November, our school’s KS4 volleyball team beat Central Foundation Girls School in an exhilarating game held at the opponent’s school. Our team finished the game with a 2-1 score. Each match’s score was: 1. 13-15 (loss) 2. 16-14 (win) 3. 7-2 (win) It is worth noting that our players maintained their motivation and resilience throughout the game and did not allow a temporary defeat to douse their spirit. Although the first match was won by the Central Foundation team, and the second a close call; those amazing volleyball players were able to keep the morale high, spared no effort on the volleyball court and were encouraging and supportive of each other off-court. Everyone is so proud of you, well done!
