Girls Football Club
Following on from England’s win in the UEFA Women’s Euro final, we have all gone footy mad and its officially coming home. Since England's success, searches for women’s football league have risen by 80%. To celebrate this win, AGFS have launched a girls football club. If you fancy becoming a lioness and trying out a new sport, we’ve got you covered. There are also additional opportunities to take part in the Ark Scholarship Programme.
Boys Football Club
We are thrilled to announce that football this year will be an elite sport due to the high demand and success AGFS scholars had last year in their local and national competitions. Training has been increased to twice a week so scholars can develop their skills to achieve big things for AGFS. Open to all but with an elite squad in each year group. There are also additional opportunities to take part in the Ark Scholarship Programme.
Cross Country
An opportunity for runners of all abilities to get fit and enjoy running in the local area. There will be opportunities to run in local events and elite performance squads will be selected to represent the school in the national cross-country championships. Open to all but with a selected elite squad.
Netball
Scholars will be able to develop their netball skills in twice weekly squad training as they prepare to compete against local school teams and in Ark competitions. Open to all but with a selected elite squad in each year group.

Hone your basketball skills and take part in regular fixtures as part of the elite squad with opportunities to play competitively. There are also additional opportunities to take part in the Ark Scholarship Programme.
Yr9-10 DofE
There are four sections to complete at Bronze and Silver level. These are physical, skills, volunteering and expedition. All of these will help you develop skills such as independence, resilience, teamwork, perseverance and give you new opportunities and experiences. In school we will focus on expedition preparation and skills such as camp craft, cooking and navigation. The bronze award expedition consists of one 2 day expedition in the summer term. The silver award expedition consists of two 3-day expeditions, both in the summer term. Open to all scholars in Year 9 and Year 10.
Table tennis
Table tennis has never been more popular at AGFS! With the introduction of our new table tennis tables in the summer of 2023, scholars have been seen racing to the tables on the lunch time to practice their skills and defeat their friends and teachers. A dedicated club session runs every week to allow scholars to further hone their skills.
Boxing
AGFS is proud to announce a partnership with Honour & Glory boxing club in SMYC. Sessions will focus mainly on sparring boxing fitness with a view that successful scholars will continue to join Honour & Glory amateur junior boxing. Open to boys and girls.
Climbing
We are so fortunate to have a full rock climbing wall at AGFS. Taking part in climbing will help you develop strength and problem solving. Sessions range from technical knowledge to speed climbing. No prior experience is needed to join.
