At AGFS we know the most successful scholars are those who demonstrate high levels of independence, often taking responsibility for their own learning and supplementing in-class work with further consolidation activities at home. We have taken some time to provide you with our highly recommended online learning platforms which your child can use to reinforce their learning. Here you will find a range of learning resources on every topic across the curriculum including helpful videos, interactive presentations, revision materials and much more. Scholars already have login details where applicable.
Expectations for Working While at Home
We expect scholars to be independent while working at home so that they do not fall behind. Scholars should use the topic list here and the below websites to complete appropriate work. All work completed should be recorded on the record of work document linked here. This must be signed by the parent to confirm the work has been completed.

Covid-19 Testing at AGFS
Dear Parents, Carers and Staff,
We have been asked by the Government to provide three onsite tests for each child spaced 3-5 days apart. The process is relatively straight forward and approximately 30 AGFS staff have already received training to ensure the process runs smoothly. Thereafter, scholars will be provided with two home testing kits per week to self-administer. We will provide further guidance on the use of home testing kits in due course. We support this government initiative as it will help to provide a further layer of security, on top of the existing strict safety and hygiene measures that are already in place across our school.
Testing of students is optional, but strongly encouraged. All information on testing at AGFS can be found by clicking on the links below. If you wish to volunteer to support with testing at AGFS please email: coronavirus@arkgreenwich.org.
