We aim to provide our students with the necessary skills to make them the leaders of the modern age in an increasingly competitive and global environment.  We are also pleased to be an accredited Healthy School and to hold Investors in People status, both of which underline our commitment to the whole person and their development.

Our commitment and strength across the curriculum has been recognised in the awarding of both ArtsMark and SportsMark. AGS is also a centre for the Arkwright Scholarships which encourages our young people to consider a career in the field of Engineering and Technology.


Students benefit from an excellent curriculum that affords them much choice of subject and an exemplary range of enrichment opportunities including clubs, competitions, conferences and visits. Ofsted, 2009
