Important Information Regarding School Trips

We have been informed that school trips across the country are no longer being insured in the event of travel disruption due to volcanic ash similar to the situation earlier this year. Cases will be reviewed on an individual basis, but please be aware a chance exists that you may not be refunded school trip fees should a volcanic eruption cause cancellation of a trip.

School Uniform Information for New Students

The Admissions Page has been updated with new information about our school uniform supplier and their visit to the school in July.

 

Welcome to AGSB

 

Our School Vision

To provide an outstanding level of education which offers genuine academic challenge to every pupil, helps every pupil to achieve his full potential and also offers a strong social and cultural awareness within an increasingly global context. There are many things we would like to achieve over the next four years, the statement is too long to reproduce in full but here are four priorities:




> To continue to develop the quality of our teaching and learning both in lessons and outside the classroom with emphasis upon pace, variety and challenge.

> To ensure that our ICT equipment and facilities can fully support the requirements of staff and pupils in a period of rapid change.

> To make the best use of our new sporting facilities so we can excel in team games and broaden the range of sporting opportunities.

> In terms of buildings, to improve our Science facilities both by increasing the number of laboratories/demonstration rooms and modernizing the existing building.

Parents wishing to see the full document should contact the school and I will be delighted to make copies available.
