• Junior Life Skills

  Wed 19 Oct 2022

  ​On Friday 14^th October, the Year 6 children attended a Junior Life Skills event at Quayside Leisure Centre. During the morning, they rotated through a series of 9 valuable learning zones, including those hosted by the RNLI, police, a Devon County recycling team and emergency service representatives. One point that had a real impact was made by the emergency service, where they learned the danger of hoax calls and were informed that 50% of calls are hoaxes. A good, informative time was had by all and the children were, as usual, great behaviour ambassadors for our school. Keep it up Year 6s!

  

• Harvest Festival Collection 2022

  Tue 18 Oct 2022

  A huge ‘thank you’ to everyone who kindly donated towards our Harvest Festival collection this year! Our School Ambassadors enjoyed a visit to Kingsbridge Food Bank to deliver this, here’s what they had to say:

  “We went to deliver the donations from AG School. The Food Bank is organised very neatly and everything is labelled with what it is and the day of the week it was donated. They make sure there is enough food for everyone, and they make 150 deliveries a week! They have different food for everyone’s tastes and have lots of different options for everyone. They are trying to get lots of blankets for people at Christmas so that everyone is warm and they have lots of school uniform for children.”
