The Magic Ingredient
Whenever you talk to current or past pupils and their families about life at St. George’s, people mention how welcoming and familial the School feels. There is something unique about our School community and the way we interact with each other. One of the main ways we foster this atmosphere and emotional connection is with our Enrichment Programmes.
With a combination of carefully selected, often world-leading curricular programmes, special whole-school initiatives and a full timetable of extracurricular activities, we ensure that our pupils have that ‘magic ingredient’ that inspires them to achieve their potential.
When children are secure and supported, and given effective tools and skills to look after their physical and mental health, they are best able to deal with the challenges, and grasp the opportunities, of life. Our Enrichment Programmes help them to do just that. Secure and happy children become positive, proactive citizens of the world. We want to give our pupils the ability to make a real difference.
Our Enrichment Programmes are an especially important part of life at St. George’s. They are designed to help pupils make positive choices for themselves, and seek to make a positive difference for as many people as possible beyond our School walls.
