St George’s are building on our 2019 ‘Ofsted Good’ inspection rating. Whilst our EY was graded as ‘Requires Improvement’ significant changes have been made, positively impacting our current position. Over the next couple of years the school is likely to grow as a result of a local housing development, which would initially lead to the expansion of our early years provision and then subsequently the rest of the school. This could offer opportunities for development and career progression.

The Trust also incorporates a teacher training school and the East Manchester Teaching Hub; both of which support the training and development of new and existing teachers across the North West of England.
