Posted on: 30/04/2026GCSE Geography tripFor our GCSE Geography trip, we visited Stratford to look at the regeneration in that area as it has seen a huge difference to how it looked before due to the Olympics that were held there. Our classes visited four different sites in the area which included: Carpenter Estate, Stratford Shopping Centre, Westfield Shopping Centre and East Village. All of these areas are important on how the regeneration of Stratford shaped the area. I loved the trip as we got to go shopping in Westfield and hang out with our friends! - Alia- Year 10

Posted on: 22/01/2025Year 9 Art work on Public displayYear 9 artwork on public display During the summer term, Y9 EGA students took part in a workshop learning about anti-apartheid activism in the local area. Working collaboratively, students researched the impact 6 individuals had on the anti-apartheid movement and shaping the culture and identity of our present day community. The 6 portraits produced by Maram, Lorin, Elodie, Flo, Sophia and Asma are now on display outside the site of the new Anti-Apartheid legacy museum on Penton St. To have their artwork on display within the community is fantastic for our students and reflects the values of the EGA art department: giving our students the opportunity to create artwork that critically investigates the world around them, producing personal, meaningful and impactful artworks.

Posted on: 21/11/2024Outward Bound ResidentialWe hope our students are as proud of themselves as we are all of them .They have achieved so much, overcome huge obstacles and had a huge amount of fun, with some being away from home for the very first time. This residential has built their confidence, resilience and self esteem. As one student said, 'We can do this. We've done scarier things this week.' We hope this experience stays with our students and the next time they are faced with a challenge they have the self confidence to push through and achieve their goals

The peak was not only a destination but a reminder that with determi- nation and courage, we can rise above our fears, one step at a time.

The audience gained fascinating insight into the writing process, authors’ earnings, and how to deal with rejection when approaching publishers: Malorie received 82 rejection letters before her first book was accepted for publication! Every school attending received a beautiful edition of “Noughts and Crosses” specially produced by the Folio Society.
