Surrey Tennis Festival at the College
On Thursday 1 May & Friday 2 May we hosted a Surrey Tennis Festival here at the College. This is an annual event we have. All the schools in the surrounding areas come to compete. All the tennis courts around the College are in use – grass, indoor, clay, hard and tarmac. It was a hot two days of tennis and good fun had by all. Surrey Tennis will be returning for the Surrey School Leagues Finals on 18/19 June. Watch this space!
Relevé School of Ballet were delighted to return to St George’s College in April 2025 for their Easter dance workshops. Over forty children aged 4-17 years from Weybridge and the surrounding area joined us for four exciting four days of dance. Younger children were treated to a workshop inspired by The Sleeping Beauty. Children learnt about the story of the ballet through books, video, costume, props and mime. They were also taught adaptations of famous classical ballet choreography from The Sleeping Beauty which we filmed for parents and they performed to their peers. Additionally, they had ballet classes, contemporary classes and stretch classes, alongside plenty of games and colouring fun.
Children age 8 and above were treated to a comprehensive schedule of dance taught by highly experienced dance teachers and ex-professional dancers. For many children, this was their first taste of different dance styles, with the daily timetable including ballet, pointe, contemporary, musical theatre, jazz and Pilates classes. In addition to this, the children studied repertoire from two famous classical ballets - Les Sylphides and The Sleeping Beauty - which we filmed for parents and they performed to their peers.
Overall, the workshops were a huge success and enjoyed by all. The Activity Centre at St George’s College provided the perfect setting for our workshops. The children loved dancing in such spacious, beautiful and well-equipped studios. Thank you very much to St George’s College for letting us use your facilities, and we look forward to returning again very soon!

Each year here at the College we send out Xmas boxes to the Salvation Army - everyone joins in by bringing in lots of lovely goodies, treats and gifts. This year we had extra gifts where the staff contributed by making knitted or crochet items - scarves, hats, headbands and baby blankets. Lots of colourful themes. The boxes were collected from us on Friday 6 December for the Salvation army to distribute. We hope everyone enjoys opening all the wonderful goodies. See picture of a few of the scarves.
We held a Macmillan coffee morning here at the College on Friday 27 September. Lots of lovely scrummy cakes eaten by all! We hold this event every year and it is a very good cause.
We raised £361.00.
