Award Winning Coaching Culture at St George’s Weybridge

We are proud to lead the way in developing a coaching culture at St George’s that supports the wellbeing, growth and potential of every school community member.

At a recent Coaching @ SGC Vision Meeting, staff reflected on their coaching journey to date and the exciting next steps to fully embedding coaching as part of school life. This has developed since we first began working with coaching specialists Graydin in 2019, and St George’s has gradually developed a whole-school approach that has had a tangible impact on staff interactions, leadership styles and student wellbeing.

In recognition of this progress, we have recently been awarded Graydin’s highest honour for both Coaching and Community, a reflection of the school’s deep commitment to meaningful, sustained cultural change.

As Matt Barham, Head of History at the College, shared: “Speaking personally, coaching has given me a new challenge but a real sense of purpose that I'm desperate to share with those in my school community. Graydin have supported my own and the organisation's journey every step of the way. We are now really excited about what the next five years of our partnership will bring.”

Looking ahead, coaching at St George’s will continue to evolve. For students, the focus will be on confidence, independence and self-reflection. For staff and parents, coaching offers new opportunities for professional development, open dialogue and a more intentional approach to support.

Coaching at St George’s is not just an initiative; it is becoming a defining feature of our culture, with lasting impact not only on those within our community but also through the wider outreach work we do beyond our gates.
