Welcome to St Giles’ and St George’s Academy, We are a Church of England school who believe in building strong, positive relationships between our pupils, parents, staff, governors and the community and we welcome visitors to our school.
One of the lasting impressions visitors to our school comment on is the behaviour, manners and productivity of the learners in an orderly, quiet and calm environment. Children are really inspired to learn here because their teachers provide them with learning opportunities that are motivational, they encourage children’s curiosity, intellectual thinking yet are achievable and interesting.
The second aspect of our school that is frequently commented upon by visitors to the school, is the safe, secure setting. We have a large diverse site, huge grassed areas, a little ‘forest’, pond area, play trails and four different playgrounds where children learn to get along with each other relax and learn in a different context.
A real strength of St Giles and St George’s is the staff. From the hard working office staff who are a major link between home and school to the cleaning, site and catering staff and the teaching team. Teachers work incredibly hard crafting lessons with the needs of the children central to their planning. They are responsible for driving the learning forward and enabling children to achieve their potential.
We have strong link with both of our local parishes, St Giles and St George’s, clergy and parishioners work with the children in school and the children spend time working within each parish to support and enhance their spiritual life.
