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 George's 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.

Our aim is to provide a structured framework in which excellent learning can take place. There are no shortcuts to academic success. Study and regular, punctual attendance are requirements, as they would be in any work place. A student's timetable will be a full and demanding one. Periods which are not taught will be directed study time in which students will work on specific tasks set by staff in each of their main subjects and, when required, contribute to the wider School community. This means that student life at St George’s is high tempo and very rewarding.

The Sixth Form experience can be a vital one in shaping a student's personal development. As far as they are consistent with the demands of independent study and meeting homework deadlines, an extensive range of activities is also encouraged. Sport, music and drama are prominent features in the School calendar, and we expect full and active participation in such events.

We look forward to working with our senior students as they make a substantial contribution to the life of the School and its wider community. Flagship events such as the Endeavour Cup (our Inter-House competition consisting of some 26 different competitions, including House Music, Sports, Drama, Dance, Photography and much, much more), choir, orchestra and the Duke of Edinburgh's Award Scheme all add to the unique opportunity of St George’s experience.

We are proud of the fact that our Sixth Formers enrich the life of our School community, develop excellent leadership skills by taking on responsibility for running teams, producing and organising public events, and  by continuing their participation in the life of the Chapel.
