Our year 7 debate team had the fantastic opportunity to visit and tour the Houses of Parliament. The year 7s were able to see gloriously decorated areas such as the robing room, House of Lords and House of Commons.

On Saturday 30th of September, DofE participants had a day of tent building and cooking using a trangia set. We had to come into school at 10 and we started with tent building. We also made spaghetti bolognese, pot noodles and hot chocolate.

Year 7 students participated in a debate competition against Central Foundation boys school at @HoganLovells law Firm. They were exceptional, words can describe how well they did and top it off they won beating Central Foundation, 2 votes to 1.

Last Friday, a mixture of year 7,8 and 9 students attended an engagement day at @HomeOfCricket. They had tours of the grounds and also were able to practise batting and fielding on some of the academy grounds. #LoveLords

All Year 7s visited Kew Gardens as part of this terms drop day. It was an opportunity for the year 7s to develop their creative writing skills and deepen their knowledge of humanities in a real world context. They completed tasks from both English and Humanities faculties.

Spanish GCSE students are participating in a Pen Pal programme with a school in Torrevieja (Spain). The students have been writing their letters in Spanish and then translating them into English. We are really looking forward to reading the letters from the students in Spain!

A group of year 7 and 8 students went to compete in the national junior indoor championship in Stratford. All the students did really well and competed with students who were above their age group. Keep up all the good work.

Wonderful to join the #BBC100 #ShareYourStory team to speak to @EGA_School pupils about working in news at the BBC. They were a brilliant audience, asking great questions! (Previous speakers at the school include Michelle Obama!!! So I was definitely feeling the pressure...😂)
