Trips
At AGS we have a wide variety of residential trips - some standard 'fixtures' in the school calendar, some more of a 'one-off' nature. All are dependent on having staff willing to organise them and, of course, parents willing to support them!
Regular trips include:
Y8 ski trip (Italy, France or Austria), c£1000, launched at the start of Y7
