About 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.

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, to nurture 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 recently released Tatler Schools Guide 2024, 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 may find their child’s happy ever after”.

With a school bus service operating from both Maidenhead and Gerrards Cross, as well as Windsor & Eton Riverside Station directly opposite, the school is easily accessible from across the borough and beyond.
