On Tuesday 9^th July, the Etone Choir were invited by Armonico Consort to perform alongside them at the Royal Albert Hall in London. The Royal Albert Hall is one of the most famous concert halls in the world having hosted performances from famous musicians such as The Beatles, Jimi Hendrix, Adele, Beyoncé as well as the world famous Proms series – and now, the Etone Choir joins this legion of musical legends in performing at the venue!

The choir performed a wide range of pieces conducted by Christopher Monks, founder and artistic director of Armonico Consort, and accompanied by Warwickshire based orchestra, The Orchestra of the Swan. Strictly Come Dancing’s Karen Hauer performed several moving and elegant routines to the pieces performed. The choir were also delighted to be conducted in singing ‘Viva La Vida’ by Caius Lee, director of music at Worcester College, Oxford, who has visited us several times to coach us in singing.

Highlights of the programme included the dynamic ‘The Power in Me’, the moving ‘The Prayer’, the catchy ‘Baba Yetu’ and, of course, the powerhouse that is Carl Orff’s ‘Carmina Burana’, which includes the sky shaking ‘O Fortuna’ (most commonly recognisable to our students from its use in The X-Factor!). Students had been working since the Autumn term in order to sing the piece in the original Latin and medieval German which on the day they were able to sing from memory!

Well done all and thank you so much to Armonico Consort for inviting us to be part of such an incredible day.

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!

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.   

On Thursday 11^th July, it was time for the House Boat Race. Introducing the annual event of the back off a very successful Rowing Challenge the other week, there was an opportunity for pupils to take part and show the pride in their Houses.

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.

Whilst the final results are yet to be announced all four teams put in a valid effort and showed the full range of Etone Values and Employability Skills. Tune in next week so we can share with you the House Champions!

On Monday there was a special assembly to announce the incoming Prefects for the 24/25 year. As we enter the summer, it was a lovely celebration of the dedication and hard work our pupil’s put into everything they do. With Class of 25 this year is set to be the best yet. A big thanks to Team Prefects for all the support they were giving across this week with induction activities.

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.

We are thrilled to announce the completion of a £7.5 million project in partnership with Nuneaton & Bedworth Council, resulting in the brand new 23-classroom teaching block at Etone College.

Named The Tanner Building, in honour of the school’s first Headmistress, this state-of-the-art facility is designed to provide the best possible learning environment for current and future generations of Etone College pupils.

Managed by Matrix Academy Trust, Alcema, and FSL Projects, this project stands as a beacon of sustainability. The building features energy-efficient LED lighting, controlled heating management systems, solar panels, and specialised agricultural landscaping, all contributing to the Trust’s commitment to achieving Net Carbon Zero by 2035. This initiative not only enhances the Trusts educational infrastructure but also supports our environmental sustainability goals.

We are looking forward to our pupils being able to make full use of the building and its facilities in September 2024 when we have our grand opening.

Etone College has been over-admitting pupils since 2018 at the request of Warwickshire School’s Admissions. The school is now significantly over net capacity and needs additional buildings so it can increase their Published Admission Number to 180 and maintain the high academic standards it currently offers, from Year 7 through to Year 13.

The new classroom block, costing an estimated £6.6 million in total, will allow the very popular school to meet the needs of local families whilst helping Warwickshire County Council meet its duty to secure sufficient school places. While the Council is contributing £4.6 million, the additional £2 million required will be covered by the school’s reserves.

Without the new build, the lack of capacity for growth within the current footprint of the school would prevent it from meeting the needs of local families because of space restrictions. Having been awarded planning permission by Warwickshire County Council for the new classroom accommodation, the school are intending to start the new build on site after Easter 2023, taking approximately 12-14 months to construct and handover.

The new building will be more energy efficient for future winter resilience, reducing energy consumption and carbon efficiency, utilising modern sustainability concepts, with old facilities replaced by modern education environments.

The additional classroom accommodation will transform Etone College and ensure the estate is fit for the future, supporting the school leaders in ensuring an exceptional education for every pupil.

Etone College is a proud member of Matrix Academy Trust, whose core value is Education Without Exception. Their bottom line is: if it wouldn’t be good enough for our relatives, it’s not good enough for our pupils.
