St George’s staff are a team of dedicated professionals who are committed to our children’s wellbeing and their personal, social and emotional and academic development. Supported by governors, staff work hard to provide a rich, stimulating and inclusive curriculum, which engages and prepares our children for future education and later life. We are fortunate to be well placed in Central London and we make sure that educational visits to museums, art galleries and places of cultural and historical interest are an integral part of learning at St George’s. This gives our children invaluable and memorable first-hand experiences. Our school was last inspected by Ofsted in May 2018 when we were judged to be ‘good’ in all the key areas of inspection, and in our overall effectiveness of provision. We continue to be a self-evaluative school, setting high aspirations and ambitions.
