News from Etonbury Academy

At the end of May our Year 11 GCSE students completed their assessments, and Mr Matthew Harpin, Head of Year 11, arranged the leavers assembly. Shirts were signed, videos and photographs were played, the individual awards from staff and students were read out and the Etonbury rock band played for them, there were very few dry eyes in the house.
