Next week, to support Safer Internet Day (6th February), South East ROCU (Regional Organised Crime Unit) will be running a webinar for parents / carers explaining cyber choices and the risks to young people of committing computer misuse offences.  This risk is now a safeguarding risk, named within KCSiE (Keeping Children Safe in Education, 2023). So to try and further raise awareness of this, they want to reach out and explain to parents  how young people can cross the line into cybercrime.

Thank you so much for your support, to your son/daughter who, with our incredible staff, have made St George a family that we can all be incredibly proud of that is proving to get the best out of each other. I have attached the report which I would encourage you to read. Above all, we thank God for his continued blessings on our school, and we will retain a humble spirit following this judgement. It is also on our website at the following link:

Ofsted Inspection Report 2023

Most importantly, you can be proud and reassured that your son/daughter is getting an outstanding Catholic education. To provide some context to this report, St George Catholic College opened in 1958. It has never been judged outstanding before in all its history. In fact, in the last 15 years, it has been close to closing and significantly underperforming. This is arguably the hardest ever OFSTED framework there has ever been. Less than 10% of schools nationally are judged outstanding and there are many complex issues in the press about inspections and judgements which we understand and sympathise with. The number of outstanding schools is decreasing. Saint George has achieved this judgement in the hardest possible way, having two separate inspections over the course of two years. It has been a journey and there are many people to thank for putting the school in a position it is now. It’s been a team effort and I can’t be more proud of everyone and their commitment to our school and each other and the continued improvement journey we are determined to make. It does not stop now. We are really pleased that the inspection team really captured what St George is all about:

“This is a truly inclusive and welcoming school. The school’s ASPIRE values are understood and treasured by the whole community. One pupil said ‘I love the school values. I will carry them with me forever.”

It is a lovely way to start the new academic year. We know the impact an OFSTED inspection can have on a school and hope the students and staff are proud of the recognition they deserve for what they do every day. It works and has an impact. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to get in touch. We will retain a humble approach following this judgement and are determined to continue to improve.

If you have any questions please do get in touch. We are looking forward to the year ahead and getting the best out of our children.

Kind Regards
Mr. James Habberley
