From the St George's Community Primary School
Welcome to St. George's, which is situated in Portland's Easton neighbourhood. It is one of the historic settlements that make up the Tophill neighbourhood. Tophill Junior and St. George's Infant schools were combined to create the new school. We welcome everyone who resides on Portland and are located about in the centre of our catchment region. You will discover that we are a welcoming school that welcomes participation from the entire student body. This includes the PTA organisation, which assists with fund raising, the School Council, and the volunteers who come in to assist with tasks like listening to people read. They are all vital to the ongoing operations of the school. Please come along and participate if you would like to help. On other pages of this website, you can find details on the most recent Ofsted Report and other significant information. I hope you have a good time and find some of the information both interesting and useful.
