Performance Swimming Scholarship

Dive into Excellence: Performance Swimming Scholarships at St George’s School, Ascot

At St George’s, we believe in empowering young women to excel in both academics and sports. That’s why we’re excited to announce the launch of our Performance Swimming Scholarship Programme - a unique opportunity for talented swimmers aged 11-18 competing at County level and above to develop their potential and create champions, in and out of the pool.

World-Class Training in Our Swimming Facility

Opened in 2019, our state-of-the-art 25m, six-lane swimming pool is designed to support high-level training for performance swimmers. As part of the scholarship, girls will receive expert coaching from highly experienced swimming professionals who will guide them to refine their technique, improve speed, and build endurance.

One of the key advantages of our programme is the ability to live and train onsite, eliminating the need for those early morning commutes to off-campus pools. Pupils will enjoy the convenience of high-performance training sessions integrated seamlessly into their daily schedule, allowing them to focus more on their broader education and personal development.

In addition to providing day places, the school will also offer boarding accommodation where required, athlete-focused nutrition, and access to full support including strength and conditioning coaches, and transport. Other specialists such as nutritionists, physiotherapists, chiropractors and sports psychologists can also be recommended. 

Scholarship Benefits: Financial Support and Reduced Fees

Our Performance Swimming Scholarships are available for both day and boarding places, and offer significant financial assistance to families, providing a reduction in school fees of up to 70% while also giving swimmers access to top-tier training and education. By choosing St George's, you are making a sound investment in your daughter’s future, nurturing her talents while preparing her to thrive in all areas of life. In exceptional circumstances, where bursary support is approved, this remission may increase further.

A Balanced Approach: Academic Excellence Meets Sporting Success

At St George’s, we are committed to developing confident, capable, and connected young women.  The School helps girls to work to find balance in every part of their life: alongside your daughter’s swimming journey, she will receive an outstanding education tailored to her individual strengths, interests, and future goals. Our balanced approach ensures that while your daughter focuses on swimming at a competitive level, her academic progress is never compromised. St George’s has a strong tradition of academic achievement, providing a supportive environment where girls are encouraged to reach their full potential in every subject. 

We are committed to nurturing and protecting the confidence that fosters success. We are consistently proud of our girls’ confident ambition and developing this inner strength and resilience is a core pillar of the St George’s ethos. 

Holistic Development and Lifelong Skills

Performance swimming not only fosters physical fitness, discipline, and focus, but it also teaches time management, resilience, and teamwork. These are qualities that benefit every aspect of life - qualities we nurture at St George’s. Scholars will be supported every step of the way, with personalised guidance to help them achieve their sporting and academic goals.

All St George’s staff strive for the very best for our girls and by nurturing their love of learning, their academic potential and their individual talents, we are able to develop happy, responsible, well balanced and resilient young women; confident, capable and connected to the world beyond our school.
