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.
Posted on: 23/02/2024Year 9 British Library Trip: Malorie Blackman This week a group of Year 9 students visited the British Library to see Malorie Blackman in conversation with illustrator Dapo Adeola. She answered questions submitted from schools around the country, on topics such as her inspirations, advice for writers, and weighty subjects such as institutional racism. 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.
