 The school remains graded Outstanding (2015).
What SIAMS said
The distinctiveness and effectiveness of St George's as a Church of England Academy are outstanding. (2013).
 The school’s vision is ‘Lighting a spark in every child’, which embodies the distinctly Christian belief that every child is equally loved and valued for all that they are in the eyes of God. In living out this vision, the school strives to ensure that each child has the best opportunity to achieve, learn, grow spiritually and be a valued member of the school community, irrespective of personal identify or need. The Christian vision sets the direction which is underpinned by clear values; these are reflected in policy and practice and this underpins the whole school curriculum and behaviour policy with particular relevance to inclusion. (DBE SIAMS Health check (2017)
What Social Care said 
“We have recommended the school for the excellent pastoral care of children with needs" (2012).“We work well with the school and know their commitment to every child as a unique individual” (2015).
 ‘The school is known to be tenacious in its determination to safeguard young children’ (2017).
What the School Improvement Partner said;
“This has been another very effective year for the school. Pupils at each key stage have made very good to excellent progress to achieve standards that are very high in relation to national averages and expectations.
Overall, this means that achievement in the school is outstanding. The school is very successful at supporting vulnerable pupils to achieve well, as demonstrated by the majority of the data for vulnerable pupils without learning needs.  
 This is due to a combination of early identification, well-matched interventions and close monitoring of progress”.
