WELCOME

TO OUR REAL WORLD READY SCHOOL

St George’s School Windsor Castle is an award-winning day and boarding school for children aged 3–13,
offering extensive facilities in a truly iconic setting at the foot of Windsor Castle.

The first standalone prep school in the UK to be designated an IB World School, St George’s prides itself
on combining a pioneering, world-class, International Baccalaureate curriculum, with exciting
opportunities to collaborate across the globe through Round Square, and a school-wide approach which
prioritises mental wellbeing, nurturing children to be kind, resilient, inquisitive, internationally minded and
Real World Ready.

Alongside an exceptional reputation for musical excellence, including a 675-year history of educating the
choristers of the world-famous St George’s Chapel in Windsor Castle, the school offers diverse
opportunities across sport, performing arts, design and technology, both via the taught curriculum as well
as through an exciting co-curricular programme, offering more than 80 activities across the year, ranging
from scuba diving to street dance, cookery and Eco Club.

In its most recent inspection, the school was rated ‘excellent’ in all areas by the Independent Schools
Inspectorate and, in 2023, won a Hieda Award in recognition of its proactive approach to mental wellbeing
for both students and the wider school community. St George’s was ranked as one of the top 100
independent schools in the world in the 2025 Spear’s 500 Schools Index and shortlisted as Independent
Prep School of the Year in both the 2024 Tes Schools Awards and the 2025 Independent Schools of the
Year awards. The school values of kindness, honesty and courage permeate every aspect of school life.

We employ over ninety staff, all of whom contribute hugely to the success, warmth and happiness of the
