Etone College Raises £107 for Guy’s Gift Bereavement Charity

Staff at Etone College have come together in the spirit of giving to raise £107 in support of Guy’s Gift Bereavement Charity during the festive season.

In the lead-up to Christmas, Miss Haywood organised a special raffle event on behalf of Dragon house, made possible through the generous donations of staff. Contributions included a variety of thoughtful items such as chocolates, bottles of wine, and pamper gifts. These were carefully arranged into festive hampers , creating a selection of prizes that captured the excitement and goodwill of the season.

The raffle proved to be a great success, with members of the school community eager to take part while supporting a meaningful cause. The funds raised will go towards helping Guy’s Gift Bereavement Charity continue its important work supporting children and young people who are coping with loss.

This initiative not only highlighted the generosity of Etone College staff but also demonstrated the strong sense of community within the school. By working together,  staff were able to make a positive contribution and spread a little extra kindness during the Christmas period.

Dragon house is proud of everyone involved and looks forward to supporting more events to help Guys Gift in the future.

Etone Personal Development Curriculum March 2026

On Monday we held the next session in our Parental Workshop Support series. These workshops look to share important updates and provisions at Etone for all pupils. Working together with parents has always been a key aim in our mission to provide Progress for All.

Within the session there was an opportunity to look at the full overview of our comprehensive Personal Development Curriculum, led by Miss Stafford who supports not just within Etone but across the trust with strategic developments. From an outside in view it is stark to say just how much the Etone curriculum covers and all parents were in ore, if not surprised at the vast opportunities available for each and every one of their pupils.

We are thankful to all parents who attended and we are happy to share the session with those who were unable to make it.

Staff Book Club

Staff Book Club thoroughly enjoyed 'The Kite Runner' in their meet up on 10th March. From the structure, the crafting of the story, the characters, emotion, and context, everyone had a different focus when talking about the book. 

Everyone is welcome to join us with our next book, Jeremy Vine's 'Murder on Line One'.

George's Gold Medal

A big shout out to George in Year 7 who took part in the National Cadet Division 5 Championship on Sunday. He performed amazingly with his team making it through to the final with ease and going on to take the top spot and win the Gold Medal.

This is a very prestigious win for him and allows the team to be promoted to Division 4 with Division 3 already in his sites. A major well done to this future Olympian – You’ve made us all very proud!

Etone College Wellbeing: Warhammer - the Sequel

On Friday 13th March 2026, another group of Etone College staff ventured to the Nuneaton Warhammer store for a workshop on how to paint a Warhammer miniature.  

At Etone College, there is a continual drive to support their wellbeing through various initiatives and events; one such activity is painting Warhammer miniatures.

For this event Mr Hope, Mr Monro and Miss Streza were having their first experience of the painting workshop, again led by store manager James, with Mr Gittens returning to make further progress with his previously started miniature.  The session lasted for 1 hour and 15 minutes with the staff surprised at how quickly the time had gone by as the store was reaching its closing time.  Mr Hope and Mr Monro enjoyed the use of the Contrast paints, with the instructions from James about how to paint larger areas with this type of paint particularly useful.  Each member of staff chose a very different colour scheme, ranging from purples to teals to greens to using a variety of colour scheme, despite them all starting with the same miniature, with Manager James making positive comments about all of them but saying how he liked the colour scheme that Mr Hope had decided on as it was unusual for a Space Marine to be seen in those colours.

By the time the session had come to a close, all of the staff that took part said how much they had enjoyed the experience, with Mr Monro echoing the sentiments from the previous workshop and saying how therapeutic it was as well as feeling inspired to paint some more.

The results from the session were each a fantastic achievement, with the Etone College staff having the miniature that they had painted to take home as a reminder of the event.

Etone College would again like to say a massive thank you to the store manager James for running this session for the staff, and his continued support of the school Warhammer Club.  As with the previous session, the staff feedback was very positive and the painting results were great to see.  The question that remains though…will there be a part 3 to these adventures?

High Praise Indeed

As you are aware, at Etone we are always looking to forge strong friendships within the community. Over the past year we have built particularly strong links with the Nuneaton Council and Parliament mostly through our working relationships with Bhim Saru, Mayor of Nuneaton and Jodie Gosling MP for Nuneaton.

These friendships have been an important aspect for us in our mission to work together as a community and drive aspirations of the pupils at Etone College.

This week we were delighted to receive these two testimonials from their respective offices, as they nominate us for an award at the “Oscars of Teaching” TES Awards and share some touching sentiments about how our support within the community has helped them.

Take a second to read the wonderful words. We are truly grateful to both the Mayors Office and Jodie’s for the time they have taken to write this.

Year 9 MP Visit

On Thursday our Year 9 were incredibly excited as Jodie Gosling, MP for Nuneaton once again came to Etone to talk to the pupils about the role of an MP, the importance of voting and what a week in an MP’s life looks like.

It was incredibly interesting to heart how varied each day is for Jodie, as she shared how she had held meetings with the Trussell Trust in support of Foodbanks, voted on key legislation for UK laws on farmers, held discussions regarding an upcoming bill sponsored by herself – This before she travelled back to Nuneaton on Thursday to start on her consistency work with meetings, visits and important events.

On feedback pupils were particularly impressed with the passion that Jodie showed in her commitment to improving the Nuneaton area. It was really nice to hear of some of the most recent developments that Jodie has worked on including:

  • Refurbishment of Pingles leisure centre which has had £2 million fuelled into supporting the area
  • Bedworth Leisure Centre which is open following £20 million of funding in the area
  • Further improvements to the town centre area with a recreational park and splash pad planned, along with work done to improve the landscape along the canal
  • Implementation of the UK’s first Championship Paddle arena, brining jobs to the community

Jodie was very clear, it didn’t matter which personal party affiliation a person has – It is their commitment to being an active citizen which is what makes the impact as an MP.

There was then an opportunity for questions and a chance for pupils to share their views on some of the developing topics for their age including:

  • Debates on the legal age to access Social Media changing to 16+ - With the majority of pupils opposing this view
  • Consideration for reducing the voting age to 16 – With a much more mixed responses and most pupils feeling they need to consider it further

It was a wonderful session and we are really grateful to Jodie for coming in to talk to our puipls.

Pod Personal Training

Last week a group of our Year 10 girls took part in the first session of our 4-week strength training programme with Pod Personal Training at Indigo Fitness.

The session focused on learning the fundamentals of strength training and developing confidence in a gym environment. Chloe and Molly from Pod Personal Training guided the students through a variety of exercises including deadlifts, chest press, lunges and resistance band work, taking time to carefully teach the correct technique for each movement. The girls also learnt why good form is important for both performance and injury prevention.

The atmosphere in the gym was fantastic, with students supporting and encouraging each other throughout the session. It was brilliant to see them step out of their comfort zones and demonstrate great self-belief as they tried new exercises and challenged themselves with weights. The session also highlighted the importance of resilience, as the girls pushed through the exercises and worked hard to improve their technique. Many of them even reported being a little achy the next day, which is always a sign that they worked hard and challenged their muscles! Most importantly, the students showed excellent integrity, listening carefully to coaching points, respecting the gym environment and representing the school brilliantly.

The girls thoroughly enjoyed the experience and are already looking forward to the next session as they continue to develop their strength, confidence and knowledge over the coming weeks.

Bowling Trips for Outstanding Attendance and Behaviour 

This term, pupils and students at Etone College have been celebrating their excellent attendance and behaviour with a series of special reward trips to DiscoBowl Nuneaton. 

Over recent weeks, almost 400 pupils have enjoyed a free rewards experience at the popular bowling and entertainment venue. The trips included a game of bowling, pizza, and time to relax with friends while enjoying pool tables and the venue’s amusements. 

The initiative is part of the school’s wider commitment to recognising and celebrating students who consistently demonstrate our Etone Values, strong behaviour, and excellent attendance in school. 

Staff at Etone College said the trips were designed to reward students for their dedication while also creating memorable experiences outside the classroom.  

Pupils and students who attended the trips have given excellent feedback. They have enjoyed the rewards and been motivated by them. 

In addition to the bowling rewards, the college has been actively consulting with every pupil and student about what they would like to see included in this year’s summer rewards trips. Students have been invited to share their ideas and preferences to help shape the options available through a MS Form sent to every child in the school. 

The school has confirmed that the new summer rewards trip choices will be launched next week, giving pupils something exciting to aim for as the academic year progresses. 

However, staff emphasised that eligibility for these upcoming trips will depend on maintaining the same high standards that earned students the bowling reward. 

By continuing to demonstrate our Etone Values, excellent attendance and positive behaviour, pupils will have the opportunity to take part in the summer rewards programme when it is unveiled.

Fairtrade Fiesta

On Tuesday a small group of 5 pupils journeyed to Birmingham on a Business Language Champions trip. They had to research a French speaking country in Africa then design a fairtrade product to market to a panel, including buyers from Oxfam. They also had to do a taster session in Portuguese and two interviews in French. Our group were outstanding and did so well!

We were so proud to have the organisers single out Etone pupils for their confidence and commitment, then at the end four awards were handed out, and Aisha won the one for leadership! There were over 80 pupils there so we are super proud of her, especially as she is so good at French but really lacking in confidence. Well done Team MFL!
