As the academic year draws to a close, AGS is preparing to say goodbye to four long-serving and highly valued members of our teaching staff. Each has made significant contributions to the School, and their presence will be sorely missed.

Mrs. Venning has been a cornerstone of AGS for the past 27 years. As Deputy Headteacher, former Head of Sixth Form, Designated Safeguarding Lead, and History teacher, she has guided countless students through their educational journeys. Her dedication and influence have shaped the very fabric of our School. Mrs. Venning's immense impact on AGS will be remembered fondly as she embarks on a well-deserved retirement. 

Mr. Crapper is retiring after an extraordinary 28 years of dedication to the Languages Department. As Team Leader for Languages, a passionate Lee House tutor, and an organizer of numerous French exchanges and cultural tours, he has enriched the lives of many students. His commitment to fostering a love for languages and his involvement in various extracurricular activities have left a lasting legacy at AGS.

Mrs. Wilkinson, Head of Food Technology, is also retiring after 17 years of inspiring students to cook delicious and nutritious food. Her contributions have been invaluable, not only in the classroom but also in the care and support she has provided to students over the years. Mrs. Wilkinson's passion for food education has inspired countless students, and she will be greatly missed as she enjoys her much-deserved retirement.

Mr. Manjengwa, a dedicated Maths teacher and Phillips House tutor, is leaving AGS after 16 years to pursue new career opportunities. His invaluable contributions to the Maths Department have had a profound impact on our students. Mr. Manjengwa's departure marks the end of an era, and he will be greatly missed by both staff and students. We wish him the very best in his new endeavors.

As we bid farewell to these remarkable educators, we express our deepest gratitude for their immense contributions to AGS. Their dedication, passion, and commitment have left an indelible mark on our school community. We wish them all the best in their future endeavors and a wonderful, fulfilling retirement.
