To be a Georgian is something very special. St George's is a where girls flourish academically, creatively, physically and morally, a where risks can be taken, lessons are learnt, and challenges are welcomed. Whilst St George's is in many ways a traditional girls' boarding and day school, we are able to offer girls the most up-to-date curriculum and a full range of opportunities in order to equip them to succeed in the modern world.
Our excellent academic record at A Level and GCSE is also supported by the high levels of value-added achieved where we have been in the top 5% of the country for the last few years. In 2025, an impressive 41% of A Level grades were A*-A, and 14% of the cohort went on to a top 10 QS World University ranked institutions.
On average, Georgians achieved 1.5 grades higher in each A Level than predicted by national testing.
Our aim is to foster a life-long love of learning and to give young women the confidence and skills to be the best version of themselves, in order to make a difference in the world. St George's is a boarding and day school for girls aged 11 to 18.
The school is set in 30 acres of beautiful grounds with magnificent views. We are just a stone's throw from the world-famous Ascot racecourse and Windsor Great Park, and less than 25 miles from London. Lastly, and our girls will echo this, our food is absolutely outstanding!

When you enter our boarding houses here at St George's, you will find them cosy and friendly with a warm, relaxed atmosphere, a bit like walking into a family home. The girls are encouraged to decorate their bedrooms, to choose the friends that they would like to share rooms with and to treat their common rooms like communal sitting rooms, where they can chat with friends and watch television together with a mug of hot chocolate and relax.
For many families working long hours, boarding has become an ideal solution. The girls here have a vast array of extra-curricular and sporting activities after school, are surrounded by their friends, do their homework in a communal atmosphere with specialist help from teachers, have caring Housemistresses always available to talk to and are in a safe, happy and stress free environment.
Loveday House - Upper Sixth (Girls) Loveday houses the Upper Sixth girls where every student is given her own bedroom. Being in a separate house enables the girls to prepare for university life, ensuring they organise their everyday chores, doing their own laundry, cooking occasional meals and booking travel arrangements.
The Housemistress, encourages independence by allowing the girls to make their own appointments: academic, medical and dental. She, along with the Head of Sixth Form, whose office is in the heart of the boarding house, is there to during what can be a stressful time whilst the girls study for external exams, take on positions of responsibility and lead the school.
We can arrange trusted UK guardianship for international families.
