Welcome to St Georges
Children are at the centre of all that we do at St George’s Preparatory School. We believe that every boy and girl has the ability to excel in his or her own way; it is our privilege to help them to achieve their full potential and to encourage them to take as much pleasure in the success of others as they do in their own. We do not aim to do this alone but look to work closely with parents in partnership.
Choosing the right school for their son or daughter is one of the most important decisions a parent will make. My staff and I are always delighted to show parents around our School, to answer their questions and to discuss the needs of each child whether they are already a pupil or if they are thinking of joining us at La Hague Manor.

A word from our Chairman
Securing the freehold to La Hague Manor means so very much to our school. The days ahead are full of hope and opportunity; already exciting new projects are being planned that will enrich the lives of our boys and girls, and add to the quality of experience they enjoy......click here
A new era at St George's
Following the purchase of La Hague Manor, St George’s is poised to embark on an exciting new chapter in its history. I am absolutely thrilled that we have secured the freehold of our magnificent buildings and grounds; not only can we look forward to educating future generations of children but we can do so in an environment that is as rich as our imaginations allow. We will not run before we can walk and we will not deviate from our core values but ownership enables us to lift our eyes beyond the immediate horizon.
Our success has been built on a foundation of hard work that has been laid down by so many people over so many years; the dedication and skill of talented teachers and teaching assistants, the commitment of all the support staff, the extraordinary energy of our pupils, the unwavering enthusiasm of our parents, the heroic efforts of The Georgian Association and, most significantly, the professionalism and vision of the Directors.
It is to the Directors that I would particularly like to offer my heartfelt gratitude. Your unstinting and unselfish efforts go unseen by most parents, pupils and even staff but are the bedrock of our school. I would especially like to thank Advocate Richard Michel for his remarkable contribution to St George’s over the last 31 years. I have the utmost respect for Richard as it is largely due to his efforts that we are where we are and in such excellent shape. Like the proverbial stick of rock, Richard has St George’s embedded through his very core.
Senior School Successes
We would like to extend a warm welcome to our parents and pupils at the start of the New Year. We hope you enjoyed a fantastic break and are looking forward to the weeks ahead. We are particularly pleased to welcome
Joshan Deol and Iona Downie (Nursery), Claudia Kemp (Form I C), Isla Downie (Form II F), Zhanna Aloyan (Form III M), Kaitlyn Gilbert (Form IV H), Max Kemp (Form IV S), Edouard Le Feuvre (Form V M) and Tigran Aloyan (Form VI J) to St George’s. We hope you settle quickly into your new classes and make lots of friends.
The Week Ahead
For the benefit of new parents I should explain that each week I reflect, as Headmaster, on the trials and tribulations of the previous week whilst looking forward with great enthusiasm to the week ahead. For the latest report click here
School Meals
The School is proud to offer a cooked meal to each pupil and staff member every day. This important social occasion helps the bonding process and teaches important social skills. We remain committed to quality and strive to offer healthy options which are interesting and appetising. For this week’s menus click here>>

Congratulations
Congratulations to:
Royal Jersey Militia

Music:
Claudia Hassett passed with merit her Grade 1 Flute exam, Mia Ballands gained distinction in her Grade 2 violin exam and Madeleine Fromage passed her Grade 1 Piano exam.
Dance:
Loren Le Quesne gained a distinction in her Grade 2 Ballet exam.
Start of the day
Parents of pupils in KS II are asked to encourage their children to make their own way into class at the start of the day. This promotes independence and helps the flow of traffic. Pupils in Forms V and VI should certainly be joining their classes independently and there should be no reason for parents in these years to accompany them to the classroom (unless you need to speak with the Form teacher as a matter of urgency).
Parents of pupils in KS I please bring your child to school no earlier than 8.20am.

Thank you to all cake bakers for your tremendous efforts in producing such delicious and often exquisitely decorated cakes and biscuits. Not only are the cakes much appreciated by our children, but cake sales have raised over £400 since the beginning of this school year.
We are very much aware that many of you include only the best ingredients and finish off your cakes with elaborate toppings. To reflect the increase in the price of ingredients it has been decided to increase the price of the cakes to 30p.
