In 2013, 90% of pupils achieved five A*-C GCSE grades including English and Maths. The school provides its pupils with a well-ordered and inspirational learning environment and places great importance on the fact that all pupils can succeed regardless of their background. Ofsted has commended the school on its “outstanding curriculum” and “very high quality of care, guidance and support”. ContextSt. George’s is an extremely diverse community. The proportion of pupils from minority ethnic groups, with Special Educational Needs (SEN) and those with English as an Additional Language is within the top quintile nationally. The school is also in the highest quintile for pupil deprivation. Despite this context, almost all groups of pupils outperform the average for their group in national examinations. The school’s geographical context, within a stone’s throw of central London, affords pupils the opportunity to work with city businesses as part of a broad programme of extra-curricular projects.
