What The Good Schools Guide says..
Wham!’s Last Christmas was booming out of the recital room when we visited. It turned out to be the weekly Warble with Wardil session (the young director of music is called Miss Wardil), where no matter what their musical talents pupils and staff are welcome to come and sing their hearts out. Pupils are 'challenged and pushed, but not overly so’, said a father. ‘There’s an emphasis on personal responsibility so it’s good for us helicopter parents to learn to...'

Since 2016, Rachel Owens MA PGCE NPQH, previously headmistress of St George’s School, Ascot. Educated at Mount St Joseph, a Catholic comprehensive in her home town of Bolton, and the University of Oxford, where she read history. She originally wanted to be a barrister but realised that her first love was history.

She ended up teaching history and politics A level at the tender age of 22. ‘It was a baptism of fire but I loved it straight away,’ she says. ‘I find teenagers endlessly fascinating and I loved getting up and enthusing them about a subject that I absolutely loved.’ After that she moved to Prior Park College in Bath, later teaching at North...

Special Education Needs
The SENCO works with the Admissions Office, pastoral team, parents and feeder schools to identify future students who have Additional Learning Needs (ALN) or Special Educational Needs and/or Disability (SEND) prior to entry. Full disclosure is requested from parents if their child has been professionally assessed regarding ALN/SEND OR has received any special provision at their current or any past schools, for example support classes, adapted materials or technology. The parent of a prospective student should declare the ALN/SEND on the online Registration Form; this will trigger a more detailed questionnaire being sent, which must be filled in and returned to the Learning Support Department, along with all supporting documentation. Through the College’s ‘best endeavours’ this enables the College to identify if a child’s ALN/SEND can be provided for. The Learning Support Department aims to assist those students in the College who have ALN or SEND in achieving their potential. Students with diagnoses of sensory impairment, dyslexia, dyspraxia, autistism and ADHD are currently supported within St. George’s College, largely within the classroom, with quality first teaching strategies. This is guided through a graduated response framework. High quality teaching, appropriately differentiated for individual students, is seen as the first step in responding to possible ALN and SEND (wave 1). Learning Support lessons are offered to students who need additional or different support (wave 2). Students will be assessed as to their individual needs and how they can best be supported. Students and parents are actively involved in the decision-making process of where to target support. Targets are created together which reflect the individual needs of the student. The department liaises with external agencies to provide additional expertise to students. Support is monitored and reviewed via the College’s grade cards. The Learning Support Teacher is available at parents’ evening (First to Fifth year) and can also have phone, teams or face-to face meetings with students/parents to review.
