Our vision is to build a great school to be the best that we can be. St George' is a vibrant Church of England primary school, part of the Forward as One Multi Academy Trust, where children are enthusiastic and motivated to achieve endless possibilities.
The children are at the heart of every decision we make, to ensure that they are happy, confident and that the opportunities that are provided for them are relevant to their needs both now and in the future.
As a church school we value every child unique in the sight of God (with our motto 'The opportunity to be unique, Together achieving Excellence') and like to offer the children the chance to develop a good work ethic with strong values and to prepare them for the next phase in their personal, social, cultural and spiritual development.
The Trust also has as its motto 'One Team, One Mission, One Family' and puts children at the front of every they do.
