Year 7 Design Technology:

Following a very successful skills project making keyrings, Year 7’s where challenged to design and make their own trophies based on a children’s Movie. I am so pleased with their products, they have definitely met the brief. The trophies are finished to a high standard and they all worked independently and applied their knowledge of materials and tools during the making process.

Well done Year 7!

Careers Ambassadors

On Thursday our careers ambassadors had a final celebration brunch.  As well as eating pastries, saying well done and making suggestions for next academic year students were awarded their certificates.   

Year 8 – Bronze

Year 9 – Silver

Year 10 – Gold

It was a sad Fairwell t the year 10 careers ambassadors who have completed the careers programme.  Many of them have now moved on to another role in school leadership and become prefects.  We wish them all the best in their new roles.  

Mrs Barlow wishes to say a big thank you to all of the ambassadors for their help this year and she is looking forward to continuing the programme next year and recruiting new year 8 students in September.

Set out as a timed race, to see who could row the furthest in 5 minute slots there were prizes on offer for each individual, Year and House as they battled it out for ultimate sporting glory. More important than the Euros, Football and Grand Prix combined the teams of 10 from each year and House rowed to glory.

Induction Evening 2024

Tuesday evening heralded the induction evening for our incoming Year 6 and their parents. With the attendees clearly enthusiastic about the school and the message of partnership. With parents making perhaps the biggest investment in selecting their child’s education, it resonates that working together and ensuring at all times a focus on our pupil’s education and their end goals, we can develop our young people into the very best of Etone Learners.

There was also lots of success with our transition day as the Year 6 attended to get a taste of the life of an Etone Learner. With the eager looks to find out what the day had in store and meet key members of staff. The pupils enjoyed a full day of lessons, ice breakers and of course some delicious food. We cant wait to welcome you in September.

ECT Celebration Event

Tuesday, 9th July saw our ECT End of Year Qualification Celebration Event. We have had an amazing community of 19 ECTs this year who have built a wonderful rapport with each other and have taken part in a range of social events each half term. This afternoon saw the culmination of all of their hard work.

ECTs and their mentors had a wonderful time searching for miniature ducks; competing in ‘The Great ECT+ Quiz’ and receiving their awards and pin badges.  A huge table of food and drink, laughs, stories and a reveal of achievements and secrets were enjoyed by all present. Prizes for the winners were eagerly selected and coveted.

We are absolutely delighted to share that two Etone ECTs, T Monro and W Kitching won Certificates of Excellence, and E Greenhalgh won a Bronze Certificate from Pearson’s Teaching Awards, 2024 a huge National recognition of their contributions to education.  We are certain that we have more awards to look forward to in the years to come.

At Etone, we are immensely proud of all of ECTs and this afternoon really recognised their huge efforts and engagement in their induction into the teaching profession. We know these first years pave the way into incredibly successful careers for all.

Refereeing

After the close of the Football season our academy scholars are busy with building their knowledge of the game further and a cohort have completed their FA Refereeing qualification through Birmingham County, we were proud of being given the opportunity to run a course here at Etone College and the pupils thoroughly enjoyed it. The FA Referee Course is designed to equip new referees with the key skills and knowledge they will need to be able to referee grassroots football matches safely and effectively. The course comprises online learning on the Laws of the Game and face to face training, they also completed safeguarding training and are now ready to implement their new skills and qualification across grass roots football. Well done all.

Etone Football Education Academy take the League Title…

Etone Football Education Academy in partnership with WBA Won the EFL title for the first time since their launch, having come runners up on the previous couple of seasons it was the Academies year to clinch the title and they did so in style losing only two games and achieving a +72 goal difference which is a fantastic achievement. As the academy has developed over the past few seasons the teams have won different cup competitions and AOC league titles but this seasons achievement is the biggest yet as they have beaten established academies from Aston Villa, Wolves and Nottingham Forrest to name a few to the title. Academy Director Mr Petch said ‘the cohort of lads involved have been brilliant, they work so hard and their dedication has been second to none which is both a credit to themselves as well as the academy, two special mentions have to go to the Academy captain Callum Brown who leads by example on a daily basis and J Atkins who was the leagues top scorer with 49 goals’

To top the achievement off the trophy was awarded to the academy during the EFL Championship playoff final at Wembley stadium in front of 80,000 people, a great experience for the lads.
