In September, we ask parents whose children are involved in the school rugby and lacrosse extra-curricular programmes to register on the programme and to consider making a voluntary contribution of £50.00 per child to support the opportunities their children experience at St. George’s. This scheme was introduced in 2016 due to the imbalance between the sheer volume of students who want to enjoy sport outside lesson time at St. George’s, and the number of PE teaching staff we can afford from the school budget. The extra-curricular programme funds an additional rugby and lacrosse coach for the season which allows us to ensure all players of all ages and abilities get support, as well as to enhance our programme with one-off clinics, strength and conditioning coaching, and so on. Please read the letter below for further information.
