Posted on: 11/02/2026Attendance and Conduct WeekThis week at EGA, we have been proud to celebrate our first Celebration Week as part of the exciting re-launch of our whole-school rewards system and what a brilliant launch it has been! Our new rewards system links Achievement Points directly to prizes, giving students clear goals to work towards. As students collect points, they move through our reward thresholds: Bronze, Silver, Gold and Platinum, unlocking fantastic tuck shop prizes along the way. The tuck shop has already been a hive of excitement, with students eagerly collecting rewards including: Beauty products Revision materials & stationery Snacks from the canteen Vouchers And even the ultimate prize: “Skip the lunch queue with a friend for the rest of the year!” It has been wonderful to see so many students motivated, proud and excited to pick up their prizes. Students can earn Achievement Points in a variety of ways: Demonstrating effort and ambition in lessons Consistently positive conduct Improving their attendance Achieving excellent attendance milestones As we approach half term, we would like to encourage families to continue positive conversations at home about the importance of both attendance and conduct. Our rewards system resets each term, giving every student a fresh opportunity to achieve, improve and aim even higher. Thank you for your continued support in helping us celebrate effort, ambition and excellence at EGA. We are so proud of the way our students have embraced the re-launch long may the excitement continue!

Posted on: 21/03/2025EGA in the news...........Elizabeth Garrett Anderson headteacher Sarah Beagley and students on International Women’s Day A FORMER First Lady of the United States has been heaping praise on a secondary school that has been rated as “Outstanding”. Michelle Obama said that she wanted to congratulate all the students, teachers, and staff at Elizabeth Garrett Anderson School in Angel for their “incredible achievement”. She added: “My time with the girls at EGA was a transformative experience for me as First Lady, and I think about it often. It means the world to know just how much the students are thriving.” The Harvard-educated lawyer first visited the school in 2009 when she spoke about the power of sisterhood. At the time, she told pupils: “I am an example of what is possible when girls from the very beginning of their lives are loved and nurtured by people around them. “I was surrounded by extraordinary women in my life who taught me about quiet strength and dignity”.

Posted on: 25/03/2022Music Trip Earlier this month, 30 musicians from across the school took part in a sell-out concert in the Queen Elizabeth Hall. As part of the Music in Secondary Schools Trust, EGA students worked with other schools from across the country to put on a concert filled with a breadth of genres and styles - ranging from orchestral symphonies, to musical theatre showstoppers. In true EGA style, the students came together from all year groups, and all levels of experience - with some only having played their instrument since the beginning of the school year. The hard work and dedication paid off, with a standing ovation from the audience - including MiSST's patron Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber. If you would like to watch the concert, the recording can be found here.
