SGA STAYS
Boarding, redefined for modern family life
Your week, your way
Our SGA Stays programme offers every girl the chance to experience this rich, balanced lifestyle, whether she joins us for a single evening or calls St George’s her home throughout the week.
SGA Stays is built around choice. Families can select what suits them best: the simplicity of Breakfast Club to ease busy mornings, a Stay for Supper after activities, a cosy overnight SGA Stayover, or the consistency and independence of Weekly or Full Stays. Whatever the rhythm of your family life, there is an option designed to support it.
For our Weekly and Full Stay families, boarding provides a warm, nurturing home where girls thrive in a community that knows them well. Evenings have structure and purpose with prep support, shared meals, social time and access to a broad range of activities. From swimming in our impressive indoor pool to creative workshops, wellbeing sessions, games evenings and weekend trips, girls enjoy an active, balanced lifestyle that complements their academic focus.
For day families, SGA Stays offers flexibility and breathing space. Removing the stress of travel, supporting busy working patterns and helping girls manage rehearsals, matches, events or exam preparation. Many pupils choose to add occasional Stayovers during assessment periods, valuing the calm environment for revision and the reassurance of being ready for the day ahead.
Whether staying for a night, a week or a full term, SGA Stays ensures every Georgian can enjoy a lifestyle that enhances wellbeing, strengthens academic success and enriches every girl’s journey through St George’s.
“ The experienced boarding team are well trained and maintain a close-knit family, home-from-home boarding community. ”
