#WeInnovate

The quest for research and development in education drives our passion for innovation. While we may borrow from the lessons of the past, we bring them firmly into the classroom of today.  We introduce the changes needed to adapt to society’s requirements, to ensure our education offers purpose in the present and relevance for the future.

Always forward thinking, we innovate not to pursue novelty but to improve our practice, services and learning outcomes through effective, inclusive teaching and a constant quest to add value.

Every lesson, every staff member, and the very structure of the schools in which they work are testament to a pioneering spirit, fuelled by a mindset and culture grounded in productive and collaborative innovation with students at the heart.

Research in education

St.George's Schools are delighted to be the chosen partner of ResearchED in Germany, a unique collaboration aiming to bridge the gap between research and practice in education. ResearchED events are hosted around the world in key locations by schools that set the benchmark in teaching and learning. 

This exciting opportunity brings together a talented group of educational professionals to share knowledge, field-specific expertise and experience, while building a network of insight and mutual support, that allows us to translate empiric knowledge and insights into the teaching and learning, to benefit our students and the wider community.

Educational technologies

While we believe that the best place for our students to benefit from a holistic education is in school, we do also recognise the opportunities offered by the use of technology in the classroom. That is why we invest in robust learning platforms, widespread connectivity and exciting new technologies that continue to enhance not only what but also how children learn. 

At St.George’s technology is a force for good, positively impacting the education we offer and preparing students with the skills necessary to ensure future success. 

Our workspaces are adaptive and people-centred, offering physical, virtual and hybrid classrooms across all year groups and academic departments, all led by highly trained staff and powered by cutting-edge technology.

The teaching environment allows every student the freedom to learn and experience more, finding new ways to connect, engage with content and interact more effectively throughout the learning process. Virtual tours bring international history and culture to life. Different platforms offer secure connectivity where students can collaborate, receive teacher feedback and enjoy the ease of communication between school and home.

In balancing the power of technological advancement with the infinite strength of human skills, trust, and connection, we guide our children to exciting and unknown horizons, while ensuring they remain distinctly human in a digital world.

Teaching and learning methods

Both our teaching and our curriculum evolve continuously to promote the highest standards of research led academic provision and develop in our students essential skills for life.

We foster thinking outside the box and are not afraid to question established methods and strategies, always ensuring the education we offer remains dynamic, exciting and able to support the success of all our students and employees. 

Agile and always relevant, we attune to advancements in science and technology, best educational practice and the necessity for adapted learning and we constantly rethink the teaching methods and materials we employ. From our curriculum to our techniques of assessment, we are reflective and receptive to change. 

Our students learn to form clear and purposeful goals, to work with others from different backgrounds and perspectives, to be globally aware and digitally literate. Confident in their learning abilities they become able and responsible problem-solvers, ready to contribute to society and adapt to the world of work.

Staff training and development

Innovation at St.George’s is a way of life: always questioning, always learning and always seeking the best outcomes for our students.

Thoughtful and targeted teacher training both informs and invigorates the schools’ climate and culture.

Our staff are encouraged to catalyse change, keen to explore new methodologies, materials and systems and to innovate across the curriculum. They identify what is working, evaluate the results their innovations are delivering and scale them.
