Day 3

Tuesday 4^th November, we had the pleasure of welcoming Emma from CosyCorners to host our first book fair of this academic year. During the day Emma was able to showcase a collection of Usborne books to our pupils for them to purchase or order.

The day was a great success with over £320 of purchases being made so far, earning us over £70 worth of free books for Etone's Library.

Pupils can continue to order up until 4pm on Saturday 8^th November using the attached shopping link.

Many thanks to all parents/carers and pupils who have supported the fair so far. It is greatly appreciated.

Emma has commented on how respectful and polite Etone pupils are and that they are a credit to the School.

A brilliant performance from the girls especially from those stepping up a couple age groups. They showed great potential in the warm up, moving the ball as a team and in units. This then displayed on the pitch going into the first half where we went 6-0 up. 

The girls gave their input on where our strengths were and where we needed to improve which in this case was our wingers, just sometimes recognising to work back more. We then kept our momentum going into the second half, taking every chance we got and continued to work and dominate to the very end of the whistle. 

Big credit to the girls who stepped up to go in goal. A particular shout out from the coaches went to the CB partnership of Maggie and Evie who pulled off some amazing tackles when we were overloaded. 

Great to see the girls enjoying their football”

As part of our ongoing commitment to creating a safe, kind, and inclusive school community, on Tuesday 21^st October we had an Anti-Bullying Pop-Up Stand!

The stand appeared in the Hall at breaktime and student learnt about:

• What bullying is and how to recognise it

• Find out how to report concerns safely and confidentially

• Pick up leaflets and information about getting help

• Share positive messages about friendship, kindness, and respect

Our anti bullying ambassadors were on hand to answer questions, offer advice, and encourage everyone to take a stand against bullying.

We’re proud to be reinforcing the message that “Bullying is never okay” and that every student deserves to feel safe and valued at school.

Last week, Etone College ran its exciting “Don’t Ghost Me” attendance competition, celebrating students who showed fantastic commitment right through to the end of term.

In the spirit of Halloween, the competition encouraged everyone to “stay present” and not disappear like a ghost — and our students certainly rose to the challenge! Throughout the week, we handed out 240 bags of sweets as instant prizes to reward great attendance and punctuality across Year 7-13.

To make things even more exciting, we also gave away a range of amazing prizes, including Amazon vouchers and four Amazon Echo Shows to some of our top attenders.

The competition was a fun and rewarding way to end the term on a high note, reminding everyone that showing up really does pay off. A huge congratulations to all our winners, and well done to every student who attended every single day.

Keep up the great work, Etone — and remember, don’t ‘ghost’ your education because every day you miss, you really do miss out!

As always, we like to shout out about our pupils individual successes both inside and outside of school. This week we would like to shout out about Sophie in Year 11.

Sophie is a keen fisher and has taken part in many community initiatives, supporting others in the local community and from Etone, getting into the sport as a way to relax.

Sophie tool part in the National Fishing Competition on Saturday where she came first, winning the highest weight of her age catagory. 2nd overall all in the whole event out of over 400 children. Sophie was also featured as the flag bearer for the county representing her county.

A big congratulations to you Sophie – We hope you reel in more successes in the future!

As always we like to should out about our pupils individual achievements both in and outside of school This week we would like to shout out about Jessica, Year 7.

Jessica competed in Blackpool at the National Sequence Festival at the weekend.  Competing against the top 37 in the UK in under 12 Classical Sequence. She made all 3 finals and has been highly commended by her teachers for what was in their eyes a personal best performance. Showing her Etone Values including Self-belief and creative skills she has once again flown the flag for Etone. We are all so proud of you – Way to go Jess!

This week the Hindu festival of Diwali is celebrated around the world. The festival is also known as the Festival of Lights and is an important part of the Hindu calendar. Also celebrated by Sikhs and Jains it is an event marked on religious calendars as a positive festival surrounded by friends and family.

At Etone this week, our pupils have attended an assembly on Diwali held by members of staff who celebrate the festival. This has given our pupils further insight into those religious communities and to draw comparisons with their own festivals and beliefs.

On Monday, our special lunch menu featured dishes which will have been enjoyed around the world as part of the festival. Not only delicious but also culturally inspired allowed our pupils to immerse themselves in the celebration and join with all others in celebrating the day.
