Welcome to St George's School
- We are currently improving our Woodlands building for Years R, 1 and 2. Please excuse the scaffolding in the meanwhile whilst we install a new roof. I am delighted to share that, following this work being completed, further improvement works will take place in 2026. We are ensuring that a significant investment is being made in our lovely school.
- It is imperative that all children are able to attend school every day. Please make sure that your child arrives promptly between 8:40-8:50am ever day. We will strive for every child to have excellent attendance this year, and we ask that you support us in this ambition.
- We look forward to seeing every child in school uniform. Please do not feel it is essential for every child to have a logo on their jumper. However, so every child feels included, we do ask that they are all in full uniform, which can be purchased from supermarkets as well as from Smarty Pants Schoolwear.
- Children can dress as rock stars for our annual Times Table Rock Stars day this Friday!
- A consultation is being held to adjust the published admissions number of the school from 90 to 75.
Essex County Council, as the admission authority for St George’s School is consulting on a reduction to the published admission number (PAN) for the school for the 2027-28 academic year. The proposal is set out below.
St George’s School, Colchester – to reduce the published admission number (PAN) from the current 90 to 75. This is to enable the school to organise classes more effectively. There are sufficient school places available in the overall area to ensure a school place for every child. St George’s School is currently undersubscribed.
No child for whom this school is the nearest school is expected to be denied a place in the normal admission round if this proposal proceeds.
Interested persons are entitled to comment on the above proposal.
The consultation period is open between 26 November 2025 and 9 January 2026.
Any comments should be submitted in writing to Shamsun Noor, Head of Operations by email shamsun.noor@essex.gov.uk.
Following the end of the consultation period, the Council, having considered any responses, will set the admission arrangements for the schools before 28 February 2026.

'St George’s School is a particularly outstanding example of a school committed to meeting the needs of its pupils and is outstanding in its commitment to, and implementation of, inclusive practice.' (IQM 2024)
'The Senior Leadership Team provides clear and purposeful direction, grounded in a strong commitment to inclusion. Their values are embedded throughout the school, creating an environment where every child is recognised, respected, and supported to thrive. Pupils speak warmly about their experiences, “I like everything about my school,” one pupil shared.' (IQM 2025)
