St George's School is Independent Primary school in Central Bedfordshire for kids aged 3 to 11 (Gender - Mixed )
The School is a unique and special place. Founded on a Christian ethos; dynamic and exciting to be part of; friendly, caring, and challenging in equal part, it is an excellent environment to receive what we consider to be an outstanding holistic education. The students and staff are loyal, proud, and purposeful, our motto, “Aim Higher”, challenging all of us to be the best we can be. We have history, tradition, and heritage, and a genuine determination to know and care for everyone, whether you are a day student or part of our diverse and inclusive boarding community. The school is quirky, Ofsted saying its success lies in the “alchemy of the intangible”. St George’s is best seen and experienced, not outlined in prose. It’s a special place to join – we hope we can show you why.
Key Stage 3
In Year 7, pupils are taught in mixed ability forms for most subjects, with smaller groups for Languages, Technology and PE. In Years 8 and 9, pupils are divided into three equal cohort groups. Within these cohorts, pupils are ‘set’ independently for Science, PE, English and their Humanities (ie History, Geography, RE). They are set across the year for Maths and are in mixed ability groups for Languages, Technology, Art, Drama, Music, Personal Development and Computing.
Key Stage 4
Although there is an element of choice at this Key Stage, all pupils follow a common core of subjects: English Language and literature – 8 hours per fortnight, Mathematics – 6 hours per fortnight, Science – 9 hours per fortnight for double award or 14 hours per fortnight for triple award (chosen as one of students’ 4 options), RE (full GCSE) – 2 lesson per fortnight, Core PE (non examined) – 2 lesson per fortnight
Key Stage 5
All entrants to the sixth form must apply to study at least 3 recognised courses. A Level courses are taught in 8 hours per fortnight with Further Maths. Sixth Formers must take part in compulsory games lesson and are encouraged to represent the School if required during the week and at weekends.
Sport
Sport is central to life at St George’s School. It can be anything from taking part in recreational sporting activities in the evening and at weekends to representing The School playing rugby or lacrosse. It can also be everything in between. Many students take GCSE PE so for some it is more than just a pastime. Those who do represent The School at the highest level are fortunate enough to compete nationally as well as against more local sides and train both before and after the school day thanks to the team of highly dedicated PE Staff.
