On Monday 14^th September we welcomed parents of our new Year 7 intake into school for a coffee morning to share how we support their children with SEND. 

This is the first of our calendar of events this year.  Sign up for future events using the link on Weduc. 

During this event we explored how to use the website to explore aspects of the curriculum, homework and wider opportunities to help you support your child with their learning and involvement in school activities.  We also looked at the differences between ‘Universal Provision’ and ‘Targeted Support’ and strategies that might be the most beneficial for your child.  We explored the graduated response and what this means for the support of your child.  

As always, we welcome communication from parents and carers in relation to your child and any additional needs they may have.  If you missed this coffee morning, please keep an eye out on Weduc for notifications about our future events.  

During our first meeting this year, our Diversity Champions for Inclusion were full of great ideas to help keep our calendar of inclusion up to date and interesting. 

We explored a couple of new events for this year including ‘Disability History Month’ coming up in November and ‘Autistic Pride Day’ in June. 

Our Champions had some great ideas for competition events that can be run to help raise awareness as well as pop-up stands and assembly topics. 

This year, our champions are planning to develop their leadership role even further by contributing more actively to assemblies and the publicity of inclusion issues within our school community. 

We are incredibly proud of Prisha and Vinish for their completion of Year 1 of the Academic Attainment Programme with Lucy Cavendish College in the University of Cambridge. The college have congratulated them on this fantastic achievement, and stated "It’s been a genuine privilege to work with such a talented, dedicated and hard-working group of students and we hope they have enjoyed participating in this year of the AAP as much as we have enjoyed running it. They’ve all been a real credit to their schools.

We have been particularly impressed by the work the students have put into their Supracurricular Exploration Project posters, which they have recently completed. These posters were of excellent quality, and it was abundantly clear that students had researched and crafted them in detail. The posters were presented with great confidence and maturity in the Presentation Sessions we held over the past weeks. The sessions were attended by members of both the Lucy Cavendish College and wider University of Cambridge academic community, all of whom commented on how inspiring and insightful they found the students’ projects."  

Well done - in particular - to Vinish whose poster was chosen as a 'featured poster' in the online gallery.

15^th September marks International Day of Democracy. Pupils will be learning about the importance of democracy and their democratic rights through assembly and form time during this week. They will also be practising democracy in action by voting for their School Council representatives.  Students will have lots of opportunities throughout the year to take part in democratic actions through visits from our local MP, voting for student leaders as well as contributing to school life through regular pupil voice.

We will be holding open events this year to give all prospective Year 7 parents and pupils the chance to come and visit us. These events will give you a little insight into what is means to be a pupil at Etone College and give you the chance to ask any questions you may have.

Open Evening will take place on Thursday 24th September  5:00pm – 7:30pm. No Booking Required. 

Open Mornings can be arranged on enquiry, please contact us if you wish to book an open morning.

At Etone College, we know that education works best when schools and families work together. That's why we're delighted to share our 2026/27 Parent & Carer Workshop Programme—a series of free sessions designed to support you at every stage of your child's journey through secondary school.

Throughout the year, we'll be covering a wide range of topics to help you feel informed, confident and connected. Whether it's supporting your child with revision, understanding homework, navigating UCAS applications, promoting wellbeing or learning more about digital safety and artificial intelligence, there's something for every family.

Our workshops are designed to:

• Support your child's academic success.
• Provide practical advice you can use at home.
• Help you understand key stages in your child's education.
• Strengthen the partnership between home and school.
• Give you opportunities to ask questions and meet members of our staff.

Whether your child is just beginning their journey at Etone or preparing for life beyond Year 13, these workshops are a great opportunity to gain valuable insight and practical strategies that can make a real difference.

We encourage all parents, carers and supporters to take a look at the programme and make a note of the sessions that interest you. We look forward to welcoming you throughout the year as we continue working together to ensure every student has the opportunity to thrive.

Together, we can continue making progress for all.

Personal Development runs through all elements of school life and encompasses so many key elements of school life that ensure we develop our learners as confident and resilient, ready for their next steps. Our PD umbrella shows all of these elements and how they all contribute to the personal development of your child during their time with us at Etone College.

Etone College finished the academic year on a high with our Final Day House Celebration Progress Praise Assemblies, where pupils from Centaur, Dragon, Griffin and Phoenix came together to celebrate another fantastic year of achievement with their House team along with Mr Evers and Mr Astall.

Throughout each assembly, pupils were recognised for their outstanding progress, attainment, attendance, behaviour, service to their House, and the employability skills they have demonstrated throughout the year. These awards reflected the many ways our pupils have embodied the Etone Values, showing commitment, resilience and pride in everything they do.

Special recognition was also given to pupils who took part in our recent Etone Baking Competition, showcasing their creativity and talent, as well as those who completed the incredible challenge of climbing Snowdon in support of OddBalls Foundation, raising an amazing £5,000 for charity. Their dedication and community spirit are an inspiration to us all.

Hundreds of certificates were presented across the four Houses, celebrating the hard work and achievements of pupils from every year group. To round off the celebrations, over £300 worth of vouchers were drawn and presented to some of our lucky winners, creating an exciting end to the school year.

These celebrations reflect Etone College's unwavering commitment to recognising and rewarding pupils who consistently demonstrate our values all day, every day. We are incredibly proud of everything our pupils have achieved this year and look forward to celebrating even more success in the year ahead.

Congratulations to everyone who received an award and thank you for making this another memorable year at Etone College.
