Historic St George’s Ascot becomes part of progressive charitable education group

St George’s Ascot, a leading independent day and boarding school for girls aged 11 to 18, will become part of the charitable St Albans Education Group (STAEG) during the Summer Term 2026.

Founded in 1877 and set in extensive grounds in the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead, St George’s Ascot combines a long tradition of excellence with a modern, forward-looking ethos of being Confident, Capable, Connected.

STAEG currently comprises St Albans High School for Girls Senior School, St Albans High School for Girls Prep, and Stormont School. The Group’s schools are known for their academic rigour, pastoral care and progressive leadership.

Amber Waite, Principal of STAEG, said:

“We are thrilled to welcome St George’s Ascot into our Group. The school’s values and ambitions align perfectly with our own, and this partnership will strengthen our shared commitment to providing exceptional education within a supportive community.”

Hannah Fox, Head of St George’s Ascot, said:

“Joining STAEG opens up so many opportunities for collaboration and development, while allowing St George’s Ascot to continue to thrive as a school and build upon our considerable strengths, within a strong charitable trust. As we look to the future, I am excited about how this partnership will enrich the learning experiences of our pupils and create even more pathways to success.”
