Our children learn the importance of helping others and ways in which they can make a positive difference to the society in which they live. AGS students are keen to support a range of good causes and will often inspire others to do so.

We value travel for its social and educational benefits and we have exchange links with Toyota City in Japan, Wetter in Germany, (opens in new tab)and Die, Wirksworth’s twin town in France(opens in new tab). In addition to these links, AGS students are given opportunities to travel abroad on various school trips each year.

The school has an outstanding sporting reputation and is one of very few schools in the country to have gained the prestigious Sportsmark Gold Award on three occasions.
