St George’s School in Harpenden has been judged Outstanding in every category following its recent Ofsted inspection.
Inspectors found the school to be Outstanding in all areas assessed, including the quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and sixth-form provision.
The report highlights that “pupils at this school receive an exceptional education” and describes behaviour across the school as “exemplary.” Inspectors praised the school’s strong academic curriculum, highly inclusive ethos, the excellence of staff, and the wide range of leadership and enrichment opportunities available to pupils.
Headteacher Andy Ford welcomed the report: “We are absolutely delighted with the outcome of this inspection. To be recognised as Outstanding across all areas of our school is a reflection of the extraordinary commitment of our staff, the strength of our community, and the values that shape our school. Most importantly, it is also a celebration of our pupils; whose kindness, positivity, and sense of service make St George’s such a special place to live and learn.”
“I want to thank every member of our staff for the excellence they bring every day. I am deeply grateful to our Governors for their support, to our parents and carers for standing with us in partnership, and most of all to our pupils who inspire us everyday.”
