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: 21/01/2026Year 7 Vaping AssemblyThis week, our Year 7 students took part in an important and informative assembly delivered by NHS professionals, focusing on the growing epidemic of vaping among young people. The assembly helped students understand what vaping is, why it is harmful, and how marketing tactics, such as colourful packaging, appealing flavours, and social media influence, are often used to make vaping seem harmless and attractive. Students were encouraged to think critically about peer pressure and the long-term impact vaping can have on their health and wellbeing. We recognise the vital role parents and carers play in supporting young people and preventing vaping, and we are committed to working together to keep our community informed and safe. Support for parents and carers Young people can be particularly vulnerable to vaping due to flavours, trends, and peer influence. Parents and carers are encouraged to: Talk openly and calmly with your child about vaping and its risks. Be aware of how flavours, packaging, and social media can make vaping appealing. Encourage your child to ask questions and reassure them they can come to you if they feel pressured. Look out for changes in behaviour or unfamiliar devices, and seek advice early if you have concerns.
