Job overview
St George’s is seeking to appoint a Chaplain on a part time basis to be available to pupils, staff and the whole school community, offering pastoral support and encouraging spiritual, moral, social and cultural development (SMSC) throughout the life of the school.
The school has a strong Christian emphasis, although it welcomes girls of other faiths and of none. Girls are encouraged to live their lives within a moral and spiritual framework and to think about how they treat others, both within and outside the school community. The girls are noticeable for their friendly, open and natural good manners, and our aim is to encourage the development of each girl's inner resources so that she has the wisdom and integrity to make positive choices in a rapidly changing world. St George’s has an ethos where work, study and spirituality are combined in a creative mix that runs in harmony with the whole school community. Pupils are encouraged to live with integrity and social responsibility, upholding our Christian tradition.
A competitive salary is offered dependent on experience.
The closing date for applications is midday on Friday 16 February 2018.

About St George's School
St George’s is a girls’ independent boarding and day school for girls aged 11 to 18 years. We are located approximately 25 miles west of central London on a beautiful, leafy 30 acre site, within walking distance of Ascot High Street. We are a welcoming school with a warm sense of community and visitors often comment on the perceptible supportive and cheerful atmosphere.
Most girls join St George's in Year 7; there are around 35 girls in each of the first two years and we keep class sizes deliberately small so that each girl is individually known. An additional class is added at Year 9 with girls joining from 13+ prep schools and girls may also join in the Sixth Form, and occasionally in Year 8 and Year 10.
We believe that a happy and successful school is one where all pupils have the opportunities to develop their strengths. The richness of opportunities within and outside the classroom are fundamental elements of the St George's experience. This allows the girls to foster the confidence, independence and academic curiosity that lead to success.
Our academic results are impressive, with the 'value-added' in public examinations a real strength. We understand how girls learn effectively and we regularly add at least one grade higher at GCSE and A Level than baseline testing would suggest. As the girls progress through the school, bespoke advice on subject options, universities and careers as part of a thorough academic tracking process, gives each girl and her parents a sense of where her strengths lie and where she should be heading.
We also offer an extensive range of opportunities, clubs and activities with a significant focus on the arts, music and sport. The girls work hard and play hard, they value each other's abilities and there is a positive an supportive pastoral and boarding ethos.
St George's is a place where girls flourish academically, creatively, physically and morally , a place where risks can be taken, lessons are learnt and challenges are welcomed. We strive for the very best for our girls and by developing their love of learning, their academic potential and their individual talents, we are able to nurture them to become happy, responsible, well balanced and resilient young women in the twenty-first century.
