From the School
Our school is an exceptional location. It is a great atmosphere for receiving what we regard to be an extraordinary holistic education since it is founded on a Christian ethos, lively and exciting to be a part of, kind, caring, and challenging in equal measure. Our motto, Aim Higher, challenges each of us to be the best version of themselves. As a result, our students and staff are devoted, proud, and purposeful. Whether you are a day student or a member of our inclusive and diverse boarding community, we have a history, traditions, and heritage as well as a sincere desire to get to know and care for everyone. Our school is unusual, and according to Ofsted, the secret to its success is the alchemy of the intangible. Instead than being described in language, St. George is best seen and experienced. We hope we can convince you of its uniqueness.
