A big well done to all of our Year 7 pupils for the excellent way they have managed transition. It really is an opportunity to celebrate, as we award those individuals who have completed our: Transition Challenges, Summer School and have joined a Student Leadership opportunity!

With pupils rewarded with treats, house pints and of course their exclusively designed certificates - It is a real chance for them to celebrate!

Our Year 13 students recently attended a careers fair, providing them with a fantastic opportunity to explore the wide range of pathways available to them after Sixth Form. The event brought together universities, apprenticeship providers and employers from across the country, allowing students to speak directly with representatives and gain valuable insight into different courses, career opportunities and entry requirements.

Throughout the day, students had the opportunity to explore a variety of stands, ask questions and gather information to support their future decisions. They were also able to attend a range of seminar sessions covering topics such as university applications, apprenticeships, student finance and career pathways, helping them develop a better understanding of the options available to them.

The event was particularly valuable as our Year 13 students begin preparing their university applications and exploring employment and apprenticeship opportunities. It encouraged them to consider different routes, discover new possibilities and make informed decisions about their next steps.

A fantastic opportunity for our students as they continue preparing for life beyond Etone Sixth Form!

Check out the amazing feedback we received for our recent fundraising event in September. A big thank you to all who attended and those who took the time to provide us with the below:

We are delighted to celebrate a fantastic achievement for attendance at Etone. We have recently received two awards from FFT recognising Etone as one of the top-performing comparable schools for attendance — one for the Summer Term and another for the whole of the last academic year for 2025-2026.

These awards are a wonderful reflection of the commitment shown by our students, families and staff. Good attendance is about more than simply being in school; it is about having the resilience to keep going, even when things are challenging, and the determination to make the most of every opportunity to learn, grow and succeed.

It also reflects our shared value of integrity. By attending school regularly, being ready to learn and taking responsibility for our education, our students demonstrate that they understand the importance of making positive choices and following through on their commitments.

We are incredibly proud of our students and grateful to our families and staff for the part they play in supporting strong attendance. These awards are something for the whole Etone community to celebrate and are a reminder that every day matters.

Next week we are celebrating the World Mental Health Day. An opportunity to consider the top tips to support your wellbeing and take part in the many activities. Check out what we have on offer: 

We are pleased to announce that a number of our students successfully completed the Etone Summer Challenge over the summer break.

Students who took part challenged themselves to complete a range of tasks across Maths, English, Reading and Humanities. We are incredibly proud of all the students who stepped up to the challenge, demonstrated commitment and determination, and continued their learning throughout the summer.

In recognition of their hard work and achievement, students have been awarded a Bronze, Silver or Gold certificate, depending on the number of tasks they successfully completed.

As well as their certificates, students are also being rewarded with House Points and Values Points in recognition of their effort, resilience and commitment.

A huge well done to everyone who took part in the Etone Summer Challenge. We are extremely proud of your achievements and hope that you continue to embrace challenges and strive for excellence throughout the year!

Our Year 10 netballers took part in their latest league matches on Tuesday after school, with two Etone teams representing the school.

The Etone A team enjoyed an excellent evening, winning both of their matches. They started with a hard-fought 12–8 victory against STM, before putting in a fantastic defensive performance to beat Hartshill 10–0.

The Etone B team also secured an impressive win, narrowly beating TNA 6–5 in a closely contested match. They then faced STM and, despite a great effort from the team, were beaten in their second fixture.

Well done to all of our Year 10 netballers for their commitment, teamwork and positive attitude throughout the evening. A fantastic effort from both teams! 🏐👏

Etone College is incredibly proud to celebrate the achievements of Izzie, who has become a European Champion after representing Great Britain at the 2026 IFAF European Youth Flag Football Championships in Italy.

Isabella was selected as part of the Great Britain U17 Girls Flag Football team, representing her country at the championships in September. Wearing number 10 and competing alongside some of the best young flag football players from across Europe, Izzie helped Great Britain complete an unbeaten tournament on their way to being crowned European Champions.

After victories against Finland, Germany and Austria during the group stages, Great Britain secured a thrilling 19–18 semi-final victory against Spain. They then produced an outstanding performance in the final, defeating Germany 33–7 to claim the European title.

It is a fantastic achievement for Izzie and one that the whole Etone community is extremely proud of.

At Etone, we place a strong emphasis on developing the skills and qualities that allow our pupils to thrive both within and beyond the classroom. Izzie’s success demonstrates these qualities at the very highest level. Representing Great Britain requires enormous resilience and problem solving, responding to the challenges and pressure of international competition. It also demands exceptional communication and teamwork, working together as a squad towards a shared goal.

Alongside this, Izzie has demonstrated the organisation and initiative required to balance the demands of training, competition and her education. Her commitment to developing her talents provides a fantastic example of the importance of determination, hard work and taking opportunities when they arise.

Izzie also represents the Nuneaton Jaguars, making the achievement particularly special for our local community. She was one of four Jaguars players selected for the Great Britain U17 Girls squad, highlighting the strength of flag football within Nuneaton.

With flag football set to make its Olympic debut at Los Angeles 2028, it is an incredibly exciting time for the sport and for young athletes such as Izzie.

Izzie’s achievement perfectly reflects our ambition for pupils to Participate in Quality, Belong to Community and Thrive in Education. From representing her local club to pulling on a Great Britain jersey and ultimately becoming a European Champion, she has shown just what can be achieved through commitment, teamwork and resilience.

Congratulations Izzie – everyone at Etone College is incredibly proud of you!
