Academy Day

At St George’s we offer an extended academy day. Pupils have more time in the classroom to acquire knowledge, skills and understanding, as well as more opportunities to broaden their education. 

The pursuit of wisdom (one of our key values) is at the heart of life at St George’s. All schools focus on the acquisition of knowledge and understanding - and these are aspects of wisdom - but true wisdom is something far deeper. Each of our values stands separately, but pulled together they help our pupils to acquire something which will help them make appropriate choices and decisions, and will undergird their positive relationships throughout their lives. Wisdom is gained by humbly submitting to learning, by approaching others with kindness, by upholding the human dignity of all, and by holding on to the hope that is set before us. Like the farmer in Jesus’ parable, we are sowing for the future - and we aim to provide good soil for our pupils to root themselves in; or, like the wise builder, a firm rock on which they can build their house.
