We are passionate about our school. Why? … you ask.

It’s simple really. St. George’s School is at the heart our community. It is a well-established school with a sense of pride, community spirit and values. It is also a school which is proud to be pushing forward; developing increasingly effective teaching and learning strategies that support all of our children … a truly inclusive place to be.

We are focused on improving many aspects of school life. We promote a love of reading for all children, grow skilled writers and mathematicians and support children effectively in both their learning and well‑being. We aim to provide an engaging curriculum for all our young learners through interest, breadth and depth, and offer excellent facilities.

However, we still have much to do and believe that, by working in partnership to achieve a common purpose, we can continue to provide a school that is at the cutting edge of educational practice. We are graded 'Good' by Ofsted (2023) and are an Inclusion Quality Mark Centre of Excellence. In the last available value added benchmarks we were one of the highest rated schools in the locality.

We know that success is drawn from professional cooperation and partnership. We are therefore trustees of the Child First Trust, participants in Partners in Excellence (PiXL) and active members of a local schools’ partnership, newly launched in April this year. These networks enable teachers and leaders to learn from each other, and provide mutual support across schools. We encourage our…
