Its central concern is equipping pupils to manage choices, changes and transitions affecting their future education, training, employment and life as adult members of an international society. To instill the notion of life-long learning. The opportunity to empower young people, regardless of socio-economic background, to grow and be successful is at the heart of everything we do at AGFS. Our values of Ambition, Growth, Fellowship and Scholarship permeate all school life.


he Year 7 Lexia reading group have been reading some of the headlines and news stories about


Theresa May and her Brexit agreement. Even understanding that a lot of people disagree with her deal, the class as a whole felt she was trying very hard, and sent her a card wishing her good luck and best wishes. A week later, they were delighted to receive a message back.


Here are some of the class, explaining why they wanted to write.


Michael: “I just wanted to say good luck with all the hard work that is happening, and it was a pleasure to get a reply.”


Kian: “I wanted to write to Theresa May to say hello and Merry Christmas. You are working very hard.”


Maia: “Well, we saw her Brexit deal, and I just wanted to say good luck.”
