Welcome to St George's School (Spring 2023)

Welcome to our wonderful school. St George's School is an ambitious and friendly place to be. We are driven by a desire for every child to succeed and be well prepared for their next stage in education. We achieve this through a team of excellent teachers and adults who provide a very high quality of service, delivering success in learning whilst building strong and positive relationships. We aim for excellence, and anticipate Key Stage 2 SATs results in each of reading, writing and mathematics to be above the national average this year.

However, we all know that modern life can be challenging at times, and being successful can be easier said than done. For this reason we ensure that we are able to respond appropriately and effectively to meet the personal needs of children. Through a positive school culture where everyone is valued, through to the provision of full time therapeutic workers on site, we believe that we offer a very special place to be.

Applications to the school are made via the Planning and Admissions Service at Essex County Council, and not via the school itself. The school is growing in popularity and we advise any family who are keen on joining to apply without undue delay.
