Saturday 25th February 2012

You and your family are warmly invited to join the Headmistress, students and staff of St George's, Ascot for our Open Morning on Saturday 25th February 2012 from 10.00am to 12.30pm.

St George's Open Mornings provide an opportunity to look round our beautiful school, visit classroom activities and to meet the Headmistress, members of staff and our students.

Please contact the Registrar, Mrs Ros Lloyd, for further information and to ensure that a place is reserved for you. You are welcome to e-mail or to phone her on 01344 629900.

If, for whatever reason, you are unable to make this occasion, our next Open Morning will take place on Saturday 28th April or alternatively you are very welcome to contact the Registrar to arrange a visit at a time suitable to you.

Admission is by selective examination. This usually takes the form of Common Entrance at 11+ held in January, or 13+ held in both February and June for entry in the following September. The 11+ exam traditionally takes place on a Monday and Tuesday in the middle of January, and we send the results out in early February. Girls currently take papers in English, Mathematics and Science at 11+ and we aim for a competent result in all three papers.

We take into account, too, the report from her previous school and her additional interests and talents. Girls for whom English is not the first language are required to take a Language Proficiency Test and do not have to visit the school in advance of Common Entrance.

Scholarships are awarded for academic merit; the value of the award is subject to an annual means test.  These awards will be either for the period up to a pupil's GCSE examinations or for the Sixth Form.  All scholarship awards will be based on tuition fees, irrespective of whether the pupil is a boarder or a day girl.  Scholarships are offered to girls who obtain the top places in Common Entrance; there is no separate scholarship examination.  Music and Art Scholarships are also available in the First Year.  Music, Art, Drama and Sport are available at 13+.

If your daughter is applying for a Music or Art scholarship at 11+, or one of the scholarships available at 13+, she will meet the appropriate Head of Department on an Introduction Day.

11+ Entry

Academic, music and art scholarships are available.   Successful candidates are eligible for further means-tested financial support which is subject to annual review.

13+ Entry

Academic, music, art, drama and sports scholarships are available.   Successful candidates are eligible for further means-tested financial support which is subject to annual review.

Sixth Form Academic Scholarships

Academic Scholarships of up to 25% of tuition fees are available for the Sixth Form; selection is by competitive examination the previous October.  Successful candidates are eligible for further means-tested financial support which is subject to annual review.

Sixth Form Art & Design, Music, Drama and Sport Scholarships

Art & Design, Music, Drama and Sport Scholarships may be awarded to candidates of exceptional ability in their field who demonstrate a strong commitment to their subject.  Again, selection is by examination, but for these scholarships there are additional examination requirements. 

We invite each prospective new girl at 11+ and 13+ to spend part of a day with us in the autumn preceding the Common Entrance examination.

Our current pupils love to be able to welcome prospective new girls and show them round.

Your daughter will be able to spend a morning or an afternoon in school on a normal school day.  During this time she will attend some lessons with girls of a similar age, so that she can get a real taste for life at the school.

These days are very popular, and prospective boarders also often like to spend a night in school.

Your daughter will have a short interview with the Headmistress.  There will be a short written test during this visit, too.

When parents come to pick their daughters up they also have the chance to meet some members of staff over tea or a light lunch, and this is an excellent time to ask any further questions you may have.

All girls who are joining St George's First Year in September spend a day in the school in the June preceding entry. This gives them a chance to meet each other as well as their 1st Year form tutors and Year Co-ordinator. The Second-hand Uniform Shop is open, too, for any parents who wish to visit it.

We admit some new girls into the Sixth Form each year; the requirement for entry is at least 6 A* - C grades at GCSE or equivalent, with at least a B expected in any subject to be taken at A-level.

St George's Fees are reviewed annually. Details of our fee structure for the 2011-12 academic year are as follows:
