EGA 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”.

Music 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.
