    A message from Anna McCormack, Chair of Governors

    Dear Parents and Guardians,
     
    A very warm welcome to all the new pupils, families, and staff members joining us for the 2025/26 academic year. To our returning members of the St George family, welcome back to another exciting school year. There's a lot to look forward to, including a new phase of building works starting soon.
     
    As Chair of Governors, I am incredibly proud of the Governing Body and Leadership Team here at St George. We are fortunate to have a group of knowledgeable, experienced, and dedicated volunteer governors who work closely with Mr. Habberley and his leadership team to ensure the best possible outcomes for our school and its pupils.
     
    I am thrilled to share that our pupils have once again achieved outstanding GCSE and vocational results. This year, 88% of students secured a grade 4 or higher in both English and Maths, and 69% achieved grades 5-9 in both subjects. Additionally, 43% of all GCSE grades were at grade 7 or above.

    Parents have shared many wonderful comments about the education and care their children receive at St George, and I'd like to highlight just a few:

    • "The family-feel and size of the school mean children get to know each other and staff well. Thank you for all that you do at St George – we are very fortunate to have been able to access such an inclusive and caring school.”
    • "St George has been a happy and safe place where my child wanted to spend time. They have made friends for life and grown socially and emotionally into a person who has firm moral values – thank you!"
    • "St George has amazing teachers and other staff who are not only knowledgeable but also care about students."
    • "Excellent, supportive and extremely dedicated teachers who have gone out of their way to get to know my child."
    • "My children have loved being part of this school."
    • "The teachers have been amazing."
    • "St George are just fantastic."

    We continue to invest in improving our school's physical infrastructure. Following the successful completion of our state-of-the-art Science and Technology facility, the new permanent Geography department, resurfaced 4G sports pitches and new student toilets, we eagerly await confirmation of the start date for the next phase of building works. This will include a brand-new library/resource centre, improved kitchen and dining facilities, and a more welcoming, secure reception area showcasing our Aspire values and mission statement.
     
    Our Catholic ethos and unique Aspire values are at the heart of St George's community, guiding us in all we do. They play an essential role in safeguarding, pastoral care, and every aspect of student wellbeing.
     
    As we begin this new academic year, I hope we can continue supporting one another within our St George family and Aspire to become all that God has created us to be.
     
    I look forward to hearing from parents, guardians, staff, and students with any comments, questions, or concerns.
     
    With best wishes,
     
    Anna McCormack
    Chair of Governors
