St George's School Windsor Castle

St George’s School Windsor Castle is an award-winning day and boarding school for girls and boys aged 3–13, offering extensive facilities in a truly iconic setting at the foot of Windsor Castle in Berkshire.

The first standalone prep school in the UK to be designated an IB World School, St George’s prides itself on combining a pioneering, world-class, International Baccalaureate curriculum, with exciting opportunities to collaborate across the globe through Round Square, and a school-wide approach which prioritises mental wellbeing, nurturing children to be kind, resilient, inquisitive, internationally minded and Real World Ready.

Alongside an exceptional reputation for musical excellence, including a 675-year history of educating the choristers of the world-famous St George’s Chapel in Windsor Castle, the school offers diverse opportunities across sport, performing arts, design and technology, both via the taught curriculum as well as through an exciting co-curricular programme, offering more than 80 activities across the year, ranging from scuba diving to street dance, cookery and Eco Club.

The only school in Windsor to feature in the Tatler Schools Guide 2025, St George’s is described by Muddy Stilettos as ideal “for progressive families who want a modern education fit for the future” and by The Good Schools Guide as somewhere “families who want a liberal, outward-looking education delivered by bright-eyed teachers in a small and nurturing urban haven (plus castle) may find their child’s happy ever after”.

The school was rated ‘excellent’ in all areas by the Independent Schools Inspectorate following its latest inspection and, in 2023, won the hieda Creating a Mentally Healthier Workplace Award in recognition of its proactive approach to mental wellbeing for both students and the wider school community. In addition, St George’s was named a finalist in the 2024 Independent Schools of the Year Awards for the second consecutive year, as well as being named a double finalist in the 2024 Muddy Stilettos Best Schools Awards and shortlisted as Independent Prep School of the Year at the 2024 Tes Schools Awards.
