The school follows the Archdiocese of Birmingham’s ‘Learning and Growing as the People of God’ Curriculum Strategy.
At St George’s the children are involved in liturgical experiences both within school and in the wider community. We seek to involve parents and parishioners as much as possible.
Fr. Brian, our Parish Priest celebrates Mass every other week with pupils, staff, parents and parishoners. Whole school and Key Stage masses take place in the hall. Our pupils not only take part in the various acts of worship but play a vital role in the delivery of the readings.
