The House System at AGS!

Monday 3rd June 2024 saw the relaunch of the AGS House System. Five new houses, named after the trees which grow along the banks of the nearby Arrow Nature Reserve, began to take root. 

Each House is supported by a Head of House and a Sixth Form Team known as SALT, (Student Ambassador Leadership Team), which consists of two Senior Ambassadors, two Communication and Outreach Ambassadors, two Events Ambassadors and two Finance and Charity Ambassadors. The SALT team for 2025-26 can be found here on the school website. (The House year runs from Easter to Easter and a new SALT team will be elected after the hustings in March 2026.)

There will also be House positions elected in the lower years. Holders of these offices as well as leading house assemblies, organising and running House events and fundraising, will also represent AGS at school events. Every member of Staff across the AGS community is in a House and is able to award House points.

During the school day, House points are awarded according to two categories in line with our school ethos: AGS Learner and DHB (Decent Human Being) behaviour. Points are also awarded for Oracy during lessons and entering and participating in a wide range of House competitions covering a whole host of interests and disciplines, with House cups being awarded on a yearly basis at the Easter Celebration Assembly.

The House cups are:

2024/2025 winners were:

Dobell Cup - Oak
Newport Cup - Oak
Spencer Cup - Willow
Wells Cup - Alder

Each House is assigned a half-term within which to undertake at least one Community event and one Charity fundraiser for their chosen House charity.
