A huge thank you to all our parents and students who so generously donated to our school food collection in support of Enfield Food Bank. Your kindness and community spirit will make a real difference. We are so proud of our school community for coming together to help others.
We wish everyone, in our school and local community, a restorative festive break.
Moments like these remind us why this season feels so special..
Here’s to joy, togetherness, and the best impromptu performance of Wham!'s 'Last Christmas' ever!
This week our inspiring Year 12 student Zerrin took her creative passion for global awareness one step further. After delivering a powerful assembly with Aasiya about the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Sudan, Zerrin used her artistic talent to design and sell her own festive cards , raising money for UNICEF and the Red Cross. Zerrin's creativity and commitment to helping others embodies our school values.
Thank you, Zerrin and Aasiya - we're so proud to see our students turning awareness into meaningful impact. If you’re on site this week, don’t forget to stop by and support our students' fundraiser.
Our Year 9 students had an incredible careers session with Jade, a senior leader in NHS England and the Lead for the London Healthcare Science Programme. Jade, who works in Health Science and Neurology, opened our students’ eyes to the huge range of career opportunities and pathways within the NHS — far beyond what many had ever imagined.
She also spoke about the exciting role of AI in the NHS, the growing importance of ICT, and how new innovations are continually transforming healthcare. Thank you, Jade, for inspiring the next generation of female scientists, technologists, and healthcare leaders.
THANK you Met Police for visiting our upper site today to give such an insightful talk about the Territorial Support Group (TSG)!
Students learned a lot from the session and had the chance to ask officers questions about stop and search and modern policing issues. We were especially enthralled learning about riot equipment, public order and safety advice.
GCSE Drama Workshop at the Tower Theatre
Our Year 11 Drama students had a FANTASTIC day out at the Tower Theatre, Stoke Newington with a set design and lighting workshop led by designers, courtesy of Director/School Governor Allan Stronach.
Students had the privilege of a 'behind the scenes' walk-through of the theatre’s current show, exploring:
- different types of stage lights
- how lighting effects and sequences are created
- how set design and lighting work hand-in-hand to shape a performance
Our lucky students also picked up a huge amount of technical vocabulary, giving them a real boost for their written drama exam — what an insightful introduction to the backstage technical world of theatre!
We send a HUGE thank you to Allan and the team at The Tower Theatre for such a hands-on, unforgettable experience.
Our Year 10 PSCHE / History / Heads of House students had an incredible day at the Houses of Parliament!
Thank you so much to MP Charalambous, who took the time to speak with our year 10s about his work and answer their thoughtful questions.
Students enjoyed a private tour of the historic building, exploring the chambers, learning about parliamentary traditions, and seeing democracy in action. They also took part in an educational workshop, gaining a deeper understanding of how laws are made and how young people can get involved in shaping their society.
A huge thank you to everyone who made this inspiring visit possible for our lucky students.
