Primary 1 – Primary 5
Welcome to St George's Junior School
The Junior School at St George's is a small and friendly school with a strong caring ethos.
Through Primary 1 to Primary 5 (ages 5 - 9 years old), our children experience a happy, stimulating and secure primary education.
In a dynamic environment promoting high achievement and aspirations, your child will gain confidence and develop ambition so that they may achieve their full potential. Our strong community promotes a culture that encourages a love of learning coupled with a wealth of opportunities. Paramount in every aspect of school life is our belief that pupils should develop an understanding of, and commit to, our shared values reinforcing our ethos and school motto: Truth, Honour, Freedom and Courtesy.
Children learn to respect one another, and every child makes their own positive and valuable contribution.
The Junior School has its own dedicated, purpose-built building and facilities on the main St George’s School campus, allowing pupils to make full use of our extensive parkland setting.

Smaller class sizes and year groups
Our primary year groups are split into two distinct primary stages: Lower Primary (Primary 1 and 2) and Middle Primary (Primary 3, 4 and 5).
Class sizes in the Junior School range from around 14-20 pupils and each year consists of one to three classes.
With a Junior School of around 170 pupils, we enjoy the benefits of remaining a relatively small school where every child is well known by staff. We have smaller class sizes and fewer classes in each year group, compared to some schools. This provides more opportunities for individual support and achievement both within and beyond the classroom.
After Primary 5, girls move from Junior School to Primary 6 in our Lower School. Here they spend three years before transferring to our Upper School in Upper 4 (Secondary 2).
From August 2022, boys will be able to join our Primary 1 year. In due course, boys can then move on with their friends into our Primary 2 and can stay with us up to the end of Primary 3.
