Ages 
‘I’ve gained so much confidence here,’ one pupil attested, and this is a truly nurturing environment in which a great deal of personal attention brings out the very best in a mixed-ability intake. The result is delightful young women who are expressive, creative, engaging and confident to face the world.

Entrance
Entrance procedure is broadly similar whether applying at 11 or 13 – written and CEM tests (including VR, NVR etc) and an interview with head or deputy plus a school report. Local preps are most popular feeders with Upton House, Windsor the biggest

Exit
Numbers leaving after GCSEs may vary from a tiny handful one year to 30 per cent in another. The urge to move can spread through a year group, parents report. Some want to go mixed, move to a more specialist school (eg drama) or just stretch their

Learning support & SEN
An impressive LS department for a small school, confidently supporting ASD, ADHD and some hearing impairments, as well as dyslexia, dyscalculia and processing issues. Currently around 12 per cent of pupils receive individual (chargeable) support
Arts & extracurricular
Dance and drama thrive on having an on-site dance studio, annual dance show and strong links with a local dance school which provides an array of classes as after school clubs. Drama is timetabled from years 7 to 10 and offered at both GCSE and
Sport
In terms of team sports, netball and cricket lead the way – St George’s amply holds its own in small school leagues. A school this size can’t do everything but the facilities it has are tremendous – floodlit netball courts, athletics track, a vast
Boarders
The school's assertion that day girls ‘get the boarding experience from the longer day here and the character development that comes with it’ is spot on. Right down to the study desks for day girls in the sixth form house, the integration of day
Ethos & heritage
A boys’ prep (Winston Churchill was a pupil) which later metamorphosed into a girls’ finishing school, St George’s has perhaps toiled for years to convince people that it does far more these days than polish up nice, bright girls who may not change
Pastoral care, inclusivity & discipline
As you might hope in such a close community, issues that can bedevil teenage girls don’t go under the radar here: ‘The girls are very on it too – they will alert me to worries if a friend ‘isn’t right’,’ said one teacher. Two independent counsellors
Mobile phone policy
A clear mobile phone policy is a really important part of modern schooling. This school has provided us with their policy.
Mobile phone policy
Provided by the school and not part of our review Girls in Years 7 to 11 may not have phone on their person during the School day. Pupils in Years 7 and 8 must hand their phones in at Reception at the beginning of the day. Pupils in Years 9 to 11 must keep their phone inside a Yondr pouch which is unlocked at the end of the day. Sixth Form pupils’ mobile devices may be used discreetly during the day when in the Sixth Form common spaces or when in individual study bedrooms, but never in the Dining Room.
Pupils & parents
A happy blend of local Berkshire families, girls from London and slightly further afield, and international students (roughly 20 per cent). They hail from places like Nigeria, Hong Kong, Ghana, Spain ‘and some bi-located families too’ – we found some
Money matters
Fees are noticeably lower than other local girls’ schools offering boarding and extended days for non-boarders. Weekly boarding is charged on a sliding scale with four nights the entry point, but it’s also possible to pay by the night for those who
