Well done to the Under 15A Cricket team who won the 'Trevor Whitby Trophy' in recognition of his years teaching at both AGS & DCGS. We posted 131 with Arth (38) & Nevin (35) top scoring. A good bowling display bowled DCGS out, Hunayn (4 wkts) & Arth (3 wkts) bowling well

Great work to Harry in Year 9 who competed in the Bucks County Champs today, coming 1st with an amazing 46.03m smashing his PB by 6m. This places him 6th in the UK on the 'Power of 10' and is also beyond the English Schools qualification distance of 45m.

AGS Remembers

Today, Aylesbury Grammar School honours the 80th anniversary of Victory in Europe Day.

We remember all those in our school community, students, staff and families, who served and sacrificed during WWII. We remember, so that we may never forget.

A T-Rex in the lecture theatre, inflatables on the field & a sea of wigs – Year 13, you’ve left in true style. We’re so proud of the young men you’ve become. Good luck in your exams & beyond. Study hard, dream big. Once an Aylesburian, always an Aylesburian. 💙
