On Friday we held our children in need celebrations across the school with our very first “Children in Need” pop-up stand.

Part of our community outreach is to take part in a number of fundraising opportunities, showing our values of Caring and Being Supportive. These are things our pupils are really good at sharing down to the endless ways we do this.

A big part of the day was our Community champions involvement who baked cakes, decorated and generally made an awesome job of bringing yellow and spots to the school.

The event was a really successful one despite a ‘small’ downpour of rain.  Overall we have raised £126.37 and counting. A small but significant show of support for the charity.

Thank you to all for your support as always with our community projects.

We are delighted to announce that our annual Etone College Careers Fair will take place on Tuesday 18th November. This exciting event provides our students with the opportunity to explore a wide range of career pathways, meet local employers, training providers, and further education representatives, and gain valuable insights into their future options.

Each year group will attend during their allocated time slot:

Parents and carers are warmly invited to visit the Careers Fair from 2:30pm onwards. Please note that students may not be permitted to accompany parents during this session.

On the back of our very successful Etone Parade our CCF Cadets took to Nuneaton Town Centre to be part of the Nuneaton Town remembrance service. As always they did us proud, led by Mr Hodgson the squadron were impeccably presented as they marched in support of our fallen heroes.

Always an important part of our Remembrance celebrations we wanted to share some of the poignant pictures from the event.

This week marks the return of our fantastic Year 11 Class of 26 Marathon Rewards programme. With attendance to regular intervention sessions proven to have a major impact on results, we look to provide pupils with a clear programme full of opportunities to complete their studies. However, as part of this we appreciate those who have the drive and determination should be rewarded.

Going along with the theme that our courses are marathons, not sprints and careful preparation throughout the year will lead to success, our pupils can collect ‘kilometres’ as they go through the year. Each time they successfully attend a session they get one step closer to come amazing prizes including:

This week marks the official handing out of our ‘Class of 26’ limited edition badges. Given to all Year 11 pupils as a memento of their final year and to help all within the school recognise the mark of the senior Etone Learners.

We are so proud of our Year 11 pupils and how they have conducted themselves so far during a busy mock examination period.

Well done Year 11 – Keep it up!

As part of our provision at Etone College we are always looking at the best ways to support our pupils revising. One of the more recent programmes pupils can use is Gizmo AI.

Gizmo is a free to use programme that turns videos, articles and ally types of media into user friendly quizzes and assessments base on their GCSE or A-Level courses.

As a programme there are lots of benefits to using Gizmo to revise for all courses.

Take a second to look at our information leaflet and start your Gizmo journey.

This week (10^th November) marks Anti-Bullying Week.

Across this terms in lessons, assemblies and form time our pupils have been taking part in activities considering how we can support society to rid itself of those who bully and how we can be supportive and caring for those who find themselves victims. This year the theme of the week is “Power for Good” and with the link to World Kindness Day our pupils have done a great job of promoting and the cause and being positive role models for the rest of Nuneaton.

On Monday 10^th November the whole school took part in Odd Socks Day, with the underlying value that it doesn’t matter how we may stand out – We are all equal, regardless of circumstance.

Although a serious message our pupils and staff had lots of fun showing off their trendy, stylish and in some cases friendly foot fashion. All pupils who took part and staff have shown the Etone Values of Caring and Being Supportive. Especially exciting this year was the team of hand holding socks standing together for Anti-Bullying week. A great way for Etone to support our wider community. So in light of this we wish you a Happy Anti-Bullying Week from all of us at Etone.

An early Christmas gift is coming to Etone College next month in the form of BBC Coventry Warwickshire Radio’s Star School of the Week. We are so excited to announce that pupils and staff will be interviewed by breakfast host Phil Upton during the week beginning 24^th November with the content being posted throughout the following week 1^st-5^th December.

It is a great reward for our pupils highlighting their amazing efforts as part of our school community to support each other and the wider society. Since winning the Community School of the Year back in February we have been sharing the values of Etone with all stakeholders, and this is another great opportunity to talk about what makes Etone the community it is.

We can’t wait for you to hear the content so don’t forget to turn your radios up and tune in. Good luck Radio Stars!
