What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 11 July 2023

Pupils at St George's receive an excellent education that is focused on both academic and personal growth. Academically, pupils achieve highly in national measures. They are also supported exceptionally well to develop into caring and thoughtful citizens. Pupils are kind to each other and encouraged to help others from the wider community. Leaders have designed and implemented a curriculum that has high academic ambitions for all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Leaders make sure that all pupils benefit from this education. Members of staff receive appropriate training to make leaders' aspirational vision a reality. Staff, pupils and families all spoke about behaviour as a strength of the school. Leaders have ensured that pupils' conduct and attitudes consistently support learning. Leaders aim to build pupils' confidence and leadership attributes by giving them positions of responsibility at the school. These roles are as diverse as house captains and prayer and play leaders. Pupils relish the challenge of these responsibilities, and talked about how these support their character growth. Pupils relish coming to school and are inspired to do well in all aspects of school life. They feel very well supported and cared for by adults and they are kept safe.
