Head Girl & Head Boy

I am honoured to have the privilege of serving as Head Girl of Antrim Grammar School for 2025/2026.

At AGS, our inclusive, close-knit community allows everyone to feel valued as a member of the AGS family. Our focus on ‘A Mind to be Kind’ promotes a supportive and nurturing environment, where we believe positive relationships between pupils and teachers underpin our success.

I’m extremely grateful for the countless opportunities AGS has provided me with—both in the classroom and through extracurricular activities. We are encouraged to develop leadership skills and build friendships across year groups through sport, the house system, and subject mentoring. There truly is something for everyone. I am particularly looking forward to the hockey tour of the Netherlands this year, which will be an exciting opportunity to grow as a team and make memories to last a lifetime.

During my time at AGS, staff have always gone above and beyond to challenge me—not only to achieve my full academic potential, but also to grow in character, developing key life skills and qualities such as resilience, empathy, and integrity.

As Head Girl this year, I aspire to lead by example for my peers and younger pupils, representing the core values of the AGS Way throughout my school life. I hope to give back to the school community by representing the student voice, alongside the rest of the senior prefect team, and striving to make the school the best it can be. I hope to inspire others to get fully involved in all aspects of school life so they can enjoy their experience as much as I have.

Emma-Louise White

Head Girl

I am privileged to hold the role of Head Boy at Antrim Grammar School for 2025/2026.

Over my six years at Antrim Grammar School, I have experienced the school’s warm and friendly atmosphere, which helps students become the best version of themselves - both inside and outside the classroom.

Since my very first day, the teachers here have dedicated themselves to helping me grow as a person, consistently role-modelling the core values of AGS, such as respect and integrity. The strong bonds I’ve formed with staff have supported me in succeeding both academically and personally, echoing the school’s belief that relationships are key to our success.

As Head Boy, I aim to be a friendly and approachable figure - someone pupils feel confident confiding in should any issues arise. I also hope to be a role model to younger pupils and make a meaningful difference at Antrim Grammar School. I believe I can give back to the school and wider community, which has given so much to me.

I also aim to promote the values of the school in a way that continues to make AGS a friendlier and more inclusive place every day, so that pupils in all year groups can enjoy their time here as much as I have enjoyed mine.
