Headmistress, Rachel Owens commented: “Every girl has worked extremely hard to achieve this outstanding set of results - I am proud of each and every one of them. A key indicator of our success at St George’s is our value-added score, which shows that our students achieved on average 1.5 grades higher than predicted by baseline testing. These confident young women have the life skills as well as the results they need to pursue the careers of their choice and I wish them all the very best of luck for the future”.
