St George's is a thriving independent boarding and day school of 270 girls aged 11-18 around 45% of whom are boarders (full, weekly and flexi) and with a Sixth Form of approximately 80 pupils. St George's offers an ambitious, connected and future-facing education tailored for pupils to realise their potential both at school and in fulfilling adult lives ahead.
Awarded 'excellent across the board' in its November 2022 ISI inspection, the School is a place where girls flourish academically, creatively, physically and morally, a place where risks can be taken, lessons are learnt and challenges are welcome.
We are a welcoming school with a warm sense of community. Visitors are impressed by our facilities within a beautiful setting and the ambition of our educational provision.
Our unique extended day and flexible boarding model allows all girls the time and space to foster confidence, independence and academic curiosity providing a future-facing education exclusively for girls in a world not yet designed for girls and introduces them to contemporary subjects and topics, through speakers, workshops, classes and visits.
St George's offers an education that is grounded, relevant and fosters employability. The school operates as an Educational Trust administered by a Board of Governors, is a member of the Girls' Schools Association (GSA), Boarding Schools Association (BSA) ISBA, AGBIS and is ISC accredited.
We are excited to announce a new Performance Swimming Scholarship Programme launching this year, designed to support talented swimmers in their pursuit of excellence. As part of this initiative, we are seeking a passionate and experienced Performance Swimming Coach to lead this programme.
This is a unique opportunity to help shape the future of young athletes.
The Coach will play the lead role in mentoring and developing athletes aged 11-18 both in and out of the pool, providing them with the training, guidance and support needed to excel in competitive swimming.
The successful candidate will be responsible for designing and executing training plans and analysing performance, thus ensuring swimmers are well-prepared to compete at high level and achieve their full potential.
Swimming at St George's is conducted in our own state-of-the-art, 6 lane 25m swimming pool.
This role will require support at open swimming competitions, therefore a degree of flexibility regarding working hours will be necessary to achieve this.
The start date for this role will be 29 August 2025.
The successful candidate will be auto-enrolled into the School's Pension Scheme if eligible.

Use of state-of-the-art gym with Technogym equipment at allocated times
