11 LONDON AND SOUTH EAST St George’s Ascot “One of the leading girls’ schools in the UK, with excellence academically and in the performing and creative arts.” St George’s, only 30 minutes from London and eight miles from Heathrow, is one of the leading girls’ boarding and day schools in the UK. Deliberately small, every girl at St George’s is known individually and supported by a close network of teaching and pastoral staff who focus on enabling every student to excel not only academically, but also to develop their creative, physical, spiritual and imaginative interests. Examination results are excellent with St George’s aiming to help the girls achieve 1-1.5 grades higher at GCSE and A Level. Boarding is homely and comfortable and an experienced team of House Staff organise an array of weekend trips and excursions. Socially the girls regularly mix with boys at Eton College, Winchester and Harrow. The Arts are fabulous with facilities including a 350 seat theatre, separate drama studio and dance studio and singers perform at Westminster Abbey and St Paul’s. Many budding artists gain places at prestigious universities. Lacrosse, netball, tennis, swimming, athletics, rounders, squash and polo are all played competitively and facilities are extensive.
