Boarding Life
Tailored Boarding Boarding is what makes St George’s such a special school and has many benefits for your daughter: she will have more time to concentrate on her work without the added time and stress of a daily commute; she will experience the full extent of the provision on offer in the school community; she will become more independent, resiliant and self sufficient; and most importantly, she will learn to live with, get on with and respect other people. Approximately half of the girls at St George’s are boarders and the houses are lively and welcoming. Each girl is under the care of a Housemistress and a team of resident staff who live in the boarding house with the girls, take responsibility for their wellbeing and who create an environment that promotes a good work ethic and is caring, happy and fun. Our location also means that girls are educated in a safe environment but are not isolated and can easily go home or further afield for weekends and holidays. Mrs H Simpson | Deputy Head (Pastoral)
St George’s has a unique boarding structure known as Tailored Boarding, which allows you and your daughter to find the best combination for her needs, which can adapt to the demands of school activities on a termly basis. In addition to the traditional Full Boarding and Day places, St George’s offers girls the option of boarding four, five or six nights a week, choosing the nights depending on her commitments in school. Tailored Boarding encourages girls to get the best out of school and home life. A weekly bus service to and from Central London departs from St George’s on Friday evening and returns on Sunday evening, allowing London boarders the opportunity to maximise time at home over the weekend. For more information about Tailored Boarding at St George’s please contact the School Administrator, Mrs C Reader, on office@stgeorges-ascot.org.uk or by telephone on 01344 629 900.
