Fantastic work from our Charity Club who spearheaded our Senior School food drive – collecting over 193kg of donations.

So proud to partner with Norwood & Brixton Foodbank which is doing such incredible work to support those in crisis.

An important workshop for Year 5 pupils today as they discuss their own diverse heritage and learn more about the remarkable contributions of black people to British society throughout history.

It was an absolute pleasure to welcome so many JAGS Alumnae back for our 50 Year Reunion last week.

A perfect afternoon reminiscing and reconnecting with old friends.

Proud of each and every one of our students and staff for making JAGS such a special community to be part of.

What an incredible morning for our new Year 7s!

There were inspirational creative writing workshops with author and actor Joseph Elliott, special art classes where mythical creatures were brought to life, along with fun-filled dance and music sessions where students explored and embodied the fantastical creatures.

We are really looking forward to welcoming you to our annual Results Day Brunch.

On this day, JAGS alumna Winifred Elsie Brenchley OBE was born in 1883. Winifred was the first woman in the UK to break into the male-dominated sphere of agricultural science and ‘was perhaps Britain's leading authority on weeds in the early twentieth century’.

Winifred was taught in the Botany Gardens by Dr Lilian Clarke at JAGS. So it seems fitting to show our current Botany Gardeners hard at work today restoring one of the ponds this summer.

We are delighted to announce our 50th Reunion Tea will be taking place on Friday 22 September.

Alumnae from the Class of 1970, 1971, 1972 and 1973 are invited to attend the event which will include musical performances from JAGS ensembles as well as the opportunity to catch up with former classmates!

We are so excited to welcome the Class of 2020 back to JAGS for a special ‘Leavers’ BBQ on Friday 1 September 🍔

Covid sadly scuppered our usual farewell celebrations at the time and we wanted to give our 2020 leavers the send-off they deserve!
