St George's College Junior School is a day school for boys and girls from 2.5 to 11 which shares the same spacious 100 acre campus as St George's College. The Junior School is very proud of its explicit Christian Ethos and its family spirit. While most pupils are Roman Catholic, other Christians are admitted. 15% of pupils arrive initially from cities as far afield as Sydney, New York, Hong Kong and Johannesburg. There is an extensive school run bus service allowing pupils from Farnham to Putney to benefit from the excellent yet well-rounded education offered at the Junior School.
The school is proud of its academic record including the numerous scholarships (47 since 1990) and other awards which have been gained by pupils over the last ten years. Most pupils (95%) move up to St George's at 11+ provided they have passed the College's Entrance Examination. There is a wide range of after-school activities available to older pupils including choir, orchestra, German, chess and major sporting options. All pupils may have individual tuition in any musical instrument in the College's music centre. Theatre visits/workshops and outings to places of interest are regularly organised for the pupils. As well as sharing the chapel and refectory of the College, pupils in the Junior School can use the new four court Indoor Tennis Centre, the large College Sportshall and the floodlit artificial Sporturf hockey pitch. The Junior School has an excellent record at Hockey (National Under 11 Mini-Hockey Champions of England 1991, 1993,1995 and 1996, County Champions 1989-1997), Rugby (the Under 9 team reached the Finals of the English Prep Schools' Championships in 1996), and Cricket (County Cup finalists 1989-1996). Inter-school matches also take place in Athletics, Tennis, Chess and Table-Tennis. Pupils are regularly selected to play cricket for the Surrey Under 9, 10 and 11 teams.
Parents are encouraged to take an active interest in the school and social functions are held each term. Formal parents' evenings, school reports and fortnightly newsletters ensure parents are kept up to date about their children's academic progress and other points of interest happening in the school.
