Information about the school

Saint George's Church of England School is a popular wide ability school for boys and girls. It is located in pleasant green fields and is within easy reach of the A2/M2 motorway with excellent transport links to London. In 2016 it was the most oversubscribed high school in Kent.

Saint George's Church of England School converted to Academy status in November 2011 and is a founder member of the Aletheia Anglican Academies Trust formed in December 2014.

In recent years our year 11 students have consistently achieved significantly above expectations, and we have regularly been placed within the top 100 schools nationally for the previous value added measure, last year achieving a Progress 8 score of +0.23. All but two of our year 13 students were admitted to their first choice of university, including a considerable number to Russell Group Universities.

The school recently underwent a section 8 inspection (March 2017) and was considered to have remained 'Good' overall with "Outstanding" for Leadership and Management; continued improvement since the last inspection was also recognised. I recommend it to you as a friendly community, where an energetic, willing, supportive staff work enthusiastically and collaboratively to enable students to excel.

Our School and all its personnel are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of the children. This post is subject to an Enhanced Disclosure Application to the Disclosure and Barring Service.
