Introduction
St George’s Weybridge is an independent co-educational day school in Surrey. Established in 1869 by a Belgian Catholic order of priests called the Josephites, it educates pupils in line with core Christian values and the motto Amore et Labore (Love and work). [1]
The Junior School occupies a beautiful 20-acre campus, with a listed park and garden nearby. Its extraordinary surroundings inspire a love of learning, as evident in pupils’ strong achievements across the syllabuses, including mathematics, technology, natural sciences and languages.
Boasting an ‘Excellent’ rating from the ISI, St George’s Weybridge offers a broad co-curricular programme, comprising fencing, animation, cake decorating, ballet, choir, chess and many other activities. Pupils engage in learning beyond the classroom with enthusiasm, developing essential social skills in the process. [2]
The pastoral care provision is of the highest standard, catering for pupils’ needs through a personalised approach. In this way, the school ensures the safety of its learning environment, where pupils are known, seen and valued equally (regardless of their strengths and weaknesses). [3]
St George’s Weybridge 9 Plus (9+) Entry Admissions Process

Please note that for pupils on the waiting list, priority will be given to those who are:
– Sympathetic to the Christian, Catholic, Josephite ethos of St George’s Weybridge
