THE YEAR IN SPORTS...

It’s been another extremely successful year of sport here at AGSB. We’ve had over 350 fixtures across 12 sports, and we continue to compete against some of the best independent schools in the country. This is testament to the hard work and endeavours of the pupils; the support and commitment of parents; and the unquestionable desire of AGSB staff to allow pupils to thrive, enjoy, and compete in sport whilst wearing the AGSB school crest.

To date, we have reached many district, county, regional, and national finals across a breadth of sports. Many pupils have attained representative honours this year across many sports including county cricket, county tennis, county football, county table tennis, county badminton, Sale Sharks DPP, Stockport FC academy, England and GB Hockey and GB Skiing.

Here at AGSB we don’t just nurture the elite, we have a “sport for all’ ethos where participation for fun and lifelong involvement in sport is promoted. House sport has thrived this year, giving further opportunities for AGSB pupils. This year we have had competitions in the following sports: rugby, football, cross country, badminton, table tennis, cricket, athletics, tug of war, and not forgetting the mystery dash!

This has also been an exciting year due to the “Sports For All’ campaign. As I’m sure you are aware, work has started and our sports facilities are in the process of being developed. I for one am excited to see where this 63/88 development can take AGSB Sport.

I’d like to thank all the pupils and staff that are heavily involved in sport here at AGSB. It is part of the school’s DNA and what makes us the school we are!

I hope you enjoy reading the season reviews written by the pupils.
