Educational excellence for girls of all ages

Situated in the heart of Edinburgh, Scotland’s capital city, St George’s School for Girls is a flexible and open learning community which allows our students to grow and develop at their own pace and in their own direction. What is wonderful is that much of this community has been inspired by the enterprise and creativity of the students themselves.

    Helen Mackie - Headteacher's Message - 7-2-2010

    It is Open Evening this Thursday 11th February, 6.00-8.00. This is primarily for students and parents of U4, U5 and L6 as they are involved in making course choices for next year, but is also for L4 to see the Upper School.

    Highers or A Levels, which combination will suit me and give me the best chance of doing what I want to do, what are universities looking for in Scotland or England or should I consider Europe or the USA?

    Come along and have these questions answered or at least engage in the complex thinking process involved in finding the most appropriate combination of courses for each individual.

    Sending textbooks to East Africa

    We have been approached by "Read International" to support their campaign to send textbooks to schools in East Africa. Having sent over 564 000 textbooks to schools in Tanzania recently, they are hoping to send a similar shipment to schools in Uganda this summer.

    They are particularly interested in Maths, Chemistry, Biology, Physics, English and Physical Geogarphy textbooks due to the similarities in the syllabuses, but are happy to collect books from other subject areas as well.
