St George’s School, Ascot

St George’s School Ascot is an academically ambitious independent day and boarding school for girls aged 11–18, set within 30 acres of beautiful grounds in Ascot, Berkshire, just 30 minutes from central London.

Small enough to know every girl as an individual, yet ambitious enough to inspire exceptional outcomes, St George’s combines strong academic achievement with outstanding pastoral care, breadth of opportunity and a deep sense of belonging.

The School is nationally recognised for the progress pupils make, consistently placing amongst the top 3% of schools for value-added progress at GCSE. Girls leave St George’s as confident, capable and connected young women, progressing to leading universities, creative pathways and future careers across a wide range of disciplines.

Academic success is supported by small class sizes, tailored teaching and a genuinely personalised approach to education. Alongside this sits a vibrant co-curricular programme spanning sport, performing arts, music, leadership, innovation and wellbeing.

Boarding is an integral part of life at St George’s and has evolved into a modern, flexible offering through SGA Stays; a reimagined approach to boarding designed around contemporary family life. Alongside full and weekly boarding, pupils can access flexible stay options, optional extended days, supervised prep, evening meals and structured study support, creating greater flexibility for busy families while maintaining the warmth and community of boarding life.

Performing arts and music are a vibrant part of life at St George’s, with pupils encouraged to develop confidence, creativity and self-expression through drama, dance and music. Opportunities range from large-scale productions and LAMDA to ensembles, orchestras and contemporary performance, alongside the School’s renowned Chapel Choir, which regularly performs both within School and at external events and services.

Sport plays a central role in life at St George’s, helping pupils build confidence, resilience and teamwork. The School offers an extensive programme including swimming, netball, football, tennis, athletics, cricket, basketball and strength and conditioning, supported by excellent facilities including a 25m six-lane swimming pool with performance training capabilities. The School’s growing Performance Swimming Programme further enhances opportunities for aspiring swimmers.

Future readiness is embedded throughout the School through SGA Futures, a structured programme focused on careers, leadership, executive functioning, university preparation and employability skills, helping pupils develop the confidence and independence needed for life beyond school.

At its heart, St George’s remains a warm, ambitious and deeply personal school where girls are supported to step forward with confidence and stand out in their own individual way.

Bursaries & Scholarships

St George’s is committed to broadening access to the school by offering means-tested bursaries. A limited number of bursaries (up to 100% of the tuition fees) are available to support pupils whose parents are not able to afford the fees in whole, or part, subject to availability of funds. All applications for bursaries are considered on the basis of individual circumstances and are means-tested. Bursaries can be applied for in addition to a scholarship, or on their own.
Bursary assessments are independent of the admissions process and an offer of a bursary should not be considered an indication about any offer of a place.
St George’s scholars are a valuable part of school life, and events and activities are arranged throughout the school year to enable scholars to excel.
The school offers Academic, Art, Drama, Music, Sport, Swimming, Performing Arts, Dance and Performance Swimming scholarships at First, Third and Sixth Year (Years 7, 9 and 12) entry. These are open to both internal and external candidates. Scholarships are worth a remission of up to 10% of tuition fees.
All scholarships are awarded on merit and interviews and auditions take place at the same time as the entrance examinations.
Sixth Form scholarship assessments take place in November of the preceding year of entry.
