History

The St George's Family

Of what is known there were actually three St George's Schools in the 19th century that were all part of the same family, two of these were girl-only schools and the other was a boy boarding school, the two old schools (St George's Girls C of E School and St George's Boys School) were very close schools, both located in Ramsgate and the third was St George's Girls School, which was located at the current Broadstairs site, and the two old schools then joined them over time to form the current school as we know it.
