    Governors Information

    A message from Anna McCormack, Chair of Governors

    Dear Parents and Guardians,
     

    A very warm welcome to all the new pupils, families, and staff members joining us for the 2026/27 academic year. To our returning members of the Saint George family, welcome back to another exciting school year. There's a lot to look forward to, including the completion of front-of-school improvements.

    As Chair of Governors, I’m incredibly proud of the Governing Body and Leadership Team here at Saint George. We are fortunate to have a group of knowledgeable, experienced, and dedicated volunteer governors who work closely with Mr Habberley and his leadership team to ensure the best possible outcomes for our school and its pupils. 

    I am thrilled to share that our pupils have once again achieved excellent GCSE and vocational results. This year, 82% of students secured a grade 4 or higher in both English and Maths, and 66% achieved grades 5–9 in both subjects. Additionally, 40% of all GCSE grades were at grade 7 or above.

    Parents have shared many wonderful comments about the education and care their children receive at Saint George, and I'd like to highlight just a few:

    • "The family feel and size of the school mean children get to know each other and staff well. Thank you for all that you do at St George – we are very fortunate to have been able to access such an inclusive and caring school.”
    • "St George has been a happy and safe place where my child wanted to spend time. They have made friends for life and grown socially and emotionally into a person who has firm moral values – thank you!"
    • "St George has amazing teachers and other staff who are not only knowledgeable but also care about students."
    • "Excellent, supportive and extremely dedicated teachers who have gone out of their way to get to know my child." 
    • “The teachers are absolutely amazing. They are positive, supportive, and they treated my child with kindness and respect.”
    • "My children have loved being part of this school."
    • "St George are just fantastic."

    We continue to invest in improving our school's physical infrastructure. Following the successful completion of our state-of-the-art Science and Technology facility, the new permanent Geography department, resurfaced 4G sports pitches and new student toilets, we eagerly await the completion of our current phase of building works to improve and expand the front of the school. 

    Later this academic year, we look forward to opening our brand-new library and resource centre, together with an expanded dining area, additional student toilets, and a more welcoming, secure reception area that will provide an inspiring entrance to the school and proudly showcase our Aspire values and mission statement.

    Our Catholic ethos and unique Aspire values are at the heart of Saint George's community, guiding us in all we do. They play an essential role in safeguarding, pastoral care, and every aspect of student wellbeing.

    As we begin this new academic year, I hope we can continue supporting one another within our Saint George family and ASPIRE to become all that God has created us to be.

    I look forward to hearing from parents, guardians, staff, and students with any comments, questions, or concerns.

    With best wishes,

    Anna McCormack
    Chair of Governors
