St George's Weybridge?

[TicklishSwan]

I have hard-working children and live close to Weybridge. I'm looking at St George's Weybridge but have heard mixed reports (pupil behaviour/poor science provision). Can anyone share their experience?

I would urge caution. Pastoral care is poor and access to subjects in terms of teaching varies widely. The school had huge problems with GCSE computing last year and parents were forced to tutor their children. I would ask for their science A level results as no department achieved A* in 2023. A large number of the present fifth form have opted to go elsewhere for A levels. Good luck!

My two have thrived there although I did hear there were problems with the Computer Science teaching but I understand this is a nationwide recruitment problem and neither of mine did it anyway.
My lower sixth child is doing physics, chemistry and maths and so far so good. Very happy with all his teachers. My younger one still got a few years left but both happy with great groups of friends.

We all have different experiences it seems! Pastoral care has been excellent for my DC and older one achieved 8/9s in science at GCSE and A* in a science at a-level. For both DC, only about 10-20 left their years after GCSE out of 140/150, and they get more in. I’m guessing more are leaving this year as fees are expensive, and VAT.
I agree there was a computer science problem but haven’t heard issues with any other subject.

I too would urge caution. My opinion is that people are leaving St George's because it is just not value for money. In my experience, teaching is a lottery, teacher turnover is high and pastoral care is poor. Sure you can make use of the climbing wall or play on perfect pitches, but £10k is a lot for that. I would look at Epsom, Reeds etc.
