George Green's School
Sharing our Humanity

George Green's is a very unique school with a history of over 160 years. George Green was a successful business man who gave back to his community and we emulate this through extending our practice into our local community and beyond. Staff and students alike are very proud to be part of this learning community.

Our specialism is Humanities with our lead subjects being English, Drama and Citizenship, all areas of excellence within the curriculum. The work these departments do both within the school and externally in the community are stunning celebrations of what our students can do.

The vision for George Green's School is to raise achievement within a framework of equality of opportunity and inclusion for all. Our mantra is All Different All Equal , Learn Today  Succeed Tomorrow. We value each child no matter what their ability or disability.  Our job is to meet their individual needs through a personalised programme so each individual will achieve their personal best. In order to do this we have to be consistent in our approach but be flexible in our delivery. 

Our Sixth Form have been delivering the International Baccalaureate Diploma since September 2008. We believe the ethos of Sharing our Humanity is replicated through our current practice as a Humanities specialist school and our practice as an IB school. The IB aims to develop inquiring, knowledgeable and caring young people who help to create a better and more peaceful world through intercultural understanding and respect. To this end the IB organisation works with schools, governments and international organisations to develop challenging programmes of international education and rigorous assessment. These programmes encourage students across the world to become active, compassionate and lifelong learners who understand that other people, with their differences, can also be right. This is what we want for our young people.

We believe the IB Diploma prepares our students for both university and lifelong learning. It allows for the type of specialist study offered by A-Levels but at the same time offers a breadth which students; potential employers and universities find particularly appealing.  The IB Diploma qualification is recognised and accepted by universities worldwide including, of course, the leading UK Higher Education Institutions. 

We are very lucky to have many additional resources to help us achieve our aims through our Humanities Specialist School status, through our Training School programmes, as a Full Service Extended School and working in collaboration with eight local primary schools.

George Green's is a vibrant community. We believe the key to success for all our students is nurturing and encouraging them to find their true pathways so their educational journey will be one of enjoyment, hard work, dedication and resilience. We have a hard working and gifted staff, and parents who are committed to the school. Together we can all ensure our students achieve their aspirational identity.
