At St George's we aim to provide a wide and varied selection of courses as well as a learning environment that will enable our students to succeed and leave here well-prepared for the next stage in their lives and ready to fulfil their potential. We passionately believe in promoting intellectual rigour, personal resilience, leadership and versatility.
These principles will allow our students to lead fulfilled happy lives and contributed significantly to Ofsted describing St Georges as a thriving and cohesive learning community in their 2014 report.
In order to achieve this, each student at St George's needs to be prepared to put the work in, be part of and contribute to our community, and take responsibility for their choices and actions. We set high expectations, but our results in as and A Level examinations, prove them to be worthy of mastering.
