It is not always easy for newly-arrived international children to access the sports clubs of Rome. There is the language barrier and some are not always the most welcoming. That is one of the reasons why we run so many clubs at St. George's. Football is our biggest sport and so we offer a Saturday academy for boys and girls from Year 4 to Year 9 soon, due to the enormous popularity, to be extended. The Academy is run by Mr Dek Smith, a highly qualified and experienced FIFA coach. His team encorporates other professional coaches but also includes some Sixth Form pupils who help him and are working towards their own coaching badges.
Please note: SGFA is ONLY available to St. George's pupils. If you are at another school in Rome, then we are sorry but you cannot come. Please do not turn up as it is embarrassing to turn you away!
For your information:
Football is called Calcio in Italian
5-a-side is called Calcetto
8-a-side is called Calciotto
More than academics
St. George's is an academic school. The quality of our academic lessons is paramount. Our GCSE and IB results are very strong and most pupils go off to their first choice university.
However, we offer a lot more than that. We offer many activities, from Archaeology to Volleyball, from Chess to Dance and from Oxbridge preparation to a host of musical activities.
