We were delighted to welcome around 200 excited potential Georgians and their parents to our 11+ Celebration evening on Wednesday 22^nd February.

With a Wizard of Oz theme, guests were welcomed into the Activity Centre on a yellow brick road while St George’s students performed in character the classic songs from the play - somewhere over our very own balloon rainbow!

Parents were invited to enjoy fizz and canapes as Headmistress Mrs Owens welcomed them all to the school and invited them to speak with our Senior Leadership Team and Sixth Form students in the Activity Centre café and Appleby Studio. It was a great opportunity for parents to ask those last few questions and perhaps those particularly specific to their child.

And while the parents were chatting, their children enjoyed a whole range of activities after a fish and chip dinner. There was a fantastic buzz as the children took part in climbing, acting out scenes inspired by the Wizard of Oz, painting landscape scenes, laser cutting coasters, singing songs from the Wizard of Oz, indoor cricket matches, coding Lego robots, and a gym workout in our strength and conditioning suite. All enjoyed a little taste of life at St George’s as we hoped to help them decide if they’d like to join us.

When it was time for families to leave, children were able to have a quick photo with friends at our photo booth and go home with a delicious, freshly made sweet waffle. It was wonderful to see so many happy smiling faces making their way home after an evening with us.

We’re especially delighted to say that we have now filled our First Year for September 2023 and, as planned, will have seven forms of students joining the College. We look forward to welcoming them as they ‘come home to school’ in September.
