St George's School

Lower School

A zest for life bursts out of the Lower School where our small pupils thrive in the atmosphere of praise and sensitive guidance. Dedicated to the education of children up to Year 6, we recognise the vital importance of learning for children in these formative years. Small classes and a family atmosphere create an environment where children feel comfortable and take pride in their achievements.

Upper School

The Upper School, housed in the main Georgian building, provides a quality education for students from 11 to 16 years. Students from the Lower School are assessed prior to progression to the Upper School. External candidates are required to take the Year 7 entrance exam.

Sixth Form

Our Sixth Formers become 'big fish in a small pool' where they are expected to take on responsibilities and become leaders in upholding school discipline and ethos. It is no accident that the Sixth Form building is at the centre of our campus.

International Students

Approximately 10% of our students are from overseas. These include students from Iran, China, South Korea, Germany, Poland, Holland, Spain and Tanzania. We are proud of the cultural diversity which this brings to St George’s School. Full integration is actively encouraged and achieved with help from the EAL department which provides support for students where English is not their first language.

Exam Results

Students at St George's School achieved outstanding GCSE and A-level exam results in 2011. The record breaking achievement is in part due to the fresh, new approach to education that the headmaster, Sir Robert Dowling Kt, has introduced since his arrival at the School in spring 2010.

Our Approach

St George’s School is a place where each individual feels supported, safe to develop at their own pace and take pride in every achievement. Our classes are small and our staff enthusiastic and caring - always keeping the child at the heart of the matter. Teaching staff are quick to recognise strengths of students but also to identify when particular help is needed.

Beyond The Curriculum

A message from Sir Robert Dowling, Chair, St. George's School Board of Trustees

May I welcome you to our school. My colleagues have asked me to say something about the school and share with you some of my philosophies and thoughts about education and the young people entrusted to our care.

I believe that each and every young person in our world, no matter how lost or shut down they may appear, has amazing potential for growth and change.

As educators, it is up to each of us individually and to all of us collectively to inspire our children to be open to the unlimited potential that lies within them.

To convince them that they are of inestimable value. That they have a right and a duty to open their hearts and minds to the beauty that is all about us. That they must grasp the opportunities to become scholars and learn that wisdom is one of the fruits of tolerance and love.
