St George’s Recognised as a Centre of Excellence by Young Enterprise
St George’s is proud to announce that it has been awarded the prestigious Centre of Excellence status by Young Enterprise, recognising our outstanding commitment to nurturing financial education and entrepreneurial skills among our pupils and wider community.
This accolade celebrates our community's dedication to empowering students with essential life skills, fostering creativity, and building confidence through innovative learning experiences. The school has consistently delivered engaging activities and workshops designed to inspire young minds and prepare them for the future.
As a Centre of Excellence, St George’s Primary has been commended for embedding financial education across and beyond the curriculum. Programs such as Careers Assemblies and the “Young Innovators Challenge” have provided pupils with hands-on opportunities to develop budgeting, teamwork, and problem-solving skills. The school’s collaboration with local businesses and community organisations to support families has further enriched these initiatives, connecting learning to real-world experiences.
The portfolio reviewers stated:
You provided lots of evidence of teaching and learning taking place in school, not only within Maths and PSHE but also your broader curriculum including Careers Assemblies and other enrichment projects and days. We thought your enrichment projects were excellent, offering your pupils to apply their learning in real-life contexts. We also liked that you included elements of family learning and opportunities for the wider community to get involved – well done.
Young Enterprise, a national charity that champions financial education and entrepreneurial learning in schools, praised St George’s for its innovative teaching methods and commitment to inspiring young learners. Representatives from the organisation will visit the school later in the year to present the award formally and meet with staff and students.
Congratulations and a huge thank you for everyone in our community for your role in this outstanding achievement!
