About St George's Catholic School

Parents are overwhelmingly positive about St George’s Catholic School. In the most recent Parent View survey, covering September 2024 to September 2025, 82% of the 45 respondents said they would recommend the school to other parents. That confidence is backed up by strong individual scores: 89% of parents agreed or strongly agreed that their child is happy, and 89% felt their child is safe. Behaviour is a particular strength — 93% agreed the school ensures pupils are well-behaved, and 93% also agreed the school has high expectations for their child. The school is clearly popular locally: for the 2025/26 admissions round, it received 584 applications for 206 places, an oversubscription ratio of 2.83. Of the 156 first-preference applicants, 140 were offered a place. That level of demand puts it among the most sought-after secondaries in Westminster, and it’s one of only five schools in the borough rated Outstanding by Ofsted.
