The Key Stage 3 pupils for School Council enjoyed a brunch with Mr Smith today.  He was very proud to be able to give out their School Council badges and congratulate them on their role. School Council plays an important part in school life at Etone College. They will discuss key issues during School Council time, collect and share the views of pupils in their form and feed back discussion points from School Council meetings.  Like all of our student leaders, they are ambassadors for our school.  Watch this space as the School Council themselves update you about what they have been doing and the impact that it has had.

Our annual Careers Fair is taking place on Wednesday 19th October 2022. More information can be found below.

Our vision is simple: every child deserves an exceptional education. We make this happen by doing the things which really make a difference. Working smartly means we have staff who want to work here.

On Tuesday 27^th September our Year 10 and 11 Netball teams continued to add to their track record of success. Playing at the Nuneaton Schools Tournament in the terrible weather conditions they showed the true spirit of Etone as they persevered and did amazing as a result.

To start with the Year 11 girls got through to the runner up place with an astonishing team effort from players who have not had lots of chances to practice in recent years: Paige M, Grace B, Amelia H, Dylan G, Celestina J, Tiana D, Megan. Well done to you all.

Next, our Year 10 were out to impress as they came 2nd out of 13 teams 👏🏻.

A truly incredible achievement considering most of the teams were made up of Year 11 pupils. Whilst there was one defeat which took us away from the top spot the achievement is no less important.

Well done to: Sophie N, Roksana A, Kc H, Delia M, Mara J, Lauren B, Jamie L, and Izzie M. 

With performances like these, it is always enjoyable to share the success we have at Etone with you all. We look forward to bringing the trophy home next year.
