First splashes. Big smiles. A whole new chapter at St. George’s!

The wait is over! Our brand-new, purpose-built swimming facilities at St. George’s Cologne have officially welcomed their first swimmers - and Year 6 had the honour of being the very first in the water!

And this is just the beginning!
🏊 Swimming is now part of our Primary PE curriculum! With our new purpose-built facilities right here on campus, all pupils from Years 2–6 enjoy weekly swimming lessons as part of their regular school day.

🤝 Together with Sharky’s Swimming School, our specialist partner, children learn in small groups matched to their abilities, developing water safety skills, swimming techniques and confidence in the water - with opportunities to work towards recognised swimming awards.

✨ And there is so much more to gain along the way: the courage to try, the excitement of mastering something new, the pride of making progress and the joy of sharing those moments with friends.

Because at St. George’s, we believe some of the most valuable lessons in life happen beyond the classroom.

A skill for life. Now part of school life.

Here’s to our first Year 6 swimmers - and to many more wonderful moments in the water!

Celebrating the people who enrich St. George’s.

For many years, the St. George’s International Club and its members have enriched our school community in ways that reach far beyond any single event or initiative.

Through their time, ideas, expertise, generosity and networks, they have created opportunities, opened doors and contributed to experiences that have benefited generations of pupils, families and colleagues.

Last week, we had the privilege of recognising three particularly longstanding members of this community - Mrs. C. Kemper, Dr. A. Diekmann and Mrs. G. Pulvermüller - by unveiling a plaque in our school lobby in honour of their exceptional contribution over many years.

To each of you: thank you for the commitment, energy and care you have brought to St. George’s, and for the many ways in which you have helped strengthen and enrich our community.

What makes your contribution especially meaningful is that your connection to St. George’s has continued well beyond the years in which your own children attended the school. Your engagement reflects something that lies at the heart of the International Club: bringing people, experience, ideas and opportunities together for the benefit of the wider school community.

The plaque is therefore not only a recognition of what has been achieved. It also stands for a relationship that continues.

We are grateful to have you remain part of the St. George’s community and look forward to the International Club continuing to enrich school life, create connections and open new opportunities for the generations to come.

Thank you, Mrs. Kemper, Dr. Diekmann and Mrs. Pulvermüller - and thank you to all members of the International Club for the extraordinary contribution you make to St. George’s.

What a Year. What a Journey. 🏫💙

From first day smiles to heartfelt goodbyes, the 2025/26 academic year has been filled with unforgettable moments that remind us what it truly means to be part of the St. George’s community.

We welcomed our newest Year 1 learners, celebrated together at our traditional Summer Party with an English Tea theme, explored the world through inspiring educational trips from Belgium’s Battlefields to Africa, Switzerland, Vienna, the Eifel and many more - and created memories that will stay with us for years to come.

We shared the magic of the festive season with performances, celebrations and our wonderful Christmas community events. Our Boarding House welcomed the Year of the Dragon with Chinese New Year celebrations, while our Year 12 students made history by hosting our very first student-led Auction Gala.

We cheered each other on during Sports Days across all year groups, celebrated the achievements of around 60 graduates as they crossed the stage, and watched our students inspire audiences at TEDxYouth@StGeorges - this year also welcoming Year 6 speakers to the red carpet for the very first time.

We also pause to remember our dear colleague Craig Gamble, who always brought joy to our school community. His kindness and passion continue to be part of the memories we cherish.

And finally, we said goodbye to our long-serving School Director, Russell Sanderson. His dedication, leadership and lasting impact have shaped generations of students, colleagues and families, and his legacy will remain an important part of St. George’s.

These are just a few highlights of a year filled with learning, laughter, friendship, courage and growth. So many stories, so many achievements, and so many moments that simply cannot fit into one post.

Thank you to every student, parent, colleague and member of our community for making this school year so special.

Have a wonderful, well-deserved summer break. We can’t wait to welcome you back for another exciting year in 2026/27! ☀️

From the World Cup final to the St. George’s pitches. ⚽

Just over a week ago, Lionel Messi and Lamine Yamal – two players shaped by FC Barcelona’s renowned youth system – competed on football’s biggest stage.

The very next day, official Barça Academy coaches brought that same philosophy to St. George’s School Cologne, inspiring the next generation of players.

Looking back, it was an incredible week:

⚽ Five days of football.
🤝 Five days of teamwork.
💙 Five days of learning, growing and building confidence.

While the camp has come to an end, the memories, friendships and valuable lessons will stay with our young players for a long time to come.

A huge thank you to for another fantastic collaboration. Together, we’re creating opportunities that go far beyond the pitch and helping young people develop the skills, mindset and confidence to thrive.

We can’t wait for the next one!

A Fond Farewell to Russell Sanderson

As the school year comes to a close, we wish all of our students and families a wonderful, relaxing summer break.

Today also marked the end of a truly remarkable chapter in the history of St. George’s. After 19 years at St. George’s, including the last 10 as Principal, Russell Sanderson begins his well-deserved retirement.

To honour this special occasion, pupils from across the entire school - from our youngest learners in Nursery to our oldest students in Secondary - came together with staff to give Russell the send-off he so richly deserved. Forming a guard of honour filled with applause, cheers, flags and bubbles, our community celebrated a leader who inspired generations of students and helped shape St. George’s into the school it is today.

A fond farewell to Russell Sanderson, and thank you for your vision, kindness and unwavering commitment. Your leadership has left a lasting legacy, and you will always be part of the St. George’s family.

We wish you a happy and fulfilling retirement, and all of our students and families a wonderful summer. We look forward to welcoming everyone back for another exciting school year in August. ☀️

An Evening of Gratitude 🙏🌱

As part of this year’s Summer Send-Off, our staff came together yesterday evening to celebrate the end of another successful school year - and to honour a truly remarkable member of our community.

As Russell Sanderson’s time at St. George’s draws to a close, the evening offered a special opportunity to reflect on his extraordinary journey with the school. Russell was delighted to welcome not only current colleagues but also former members of staff who returned to celebrate this milestone with him. We were equally honoured to welcome the Principal of our sister school, St. George’s School Düsseldorf Rhein-Ruhr, together with representatives of the International Club and Round Table, reflecting the many friendships and connections Russell has built throughout his 19 years at St. George’s.

One of the most meaningful moments of the evening was the presentation of an apricot tree, gifted by the school as a lasting symbol of gratitude and appreciation. Russell planted the tree himself - a fitting tribute to someone who has spent nearly two decades helping our school community grow. Just as a tree takes root, blossoms and bears fruit over time, Russell’s leadership, kindness and vision have left a legacy that will continue to flourish for generations of students, staff and families.

Thank you, Russell, for your dedication, friendship and unwavering commitment to St. George’s. We wish you every happiness in your retirement and hope the apricot tree will stand for many years as a reminder of the community you helped to shape and the lives you have touched.

🎓 Outstanding IB Results 2026 🎓

Some achievements are measured in points. The most important ones are measured in confidence, resilience, curiosity and the courage to embrace what comes next.

Today, we celebrate our Class of 2026 and an extraordinary chapter in their journey.

Their hard work, determination and ambition have led to outstanding results, including:

⭐ Average IB Diploma score: 35 points

⭐ Two students achieved 44 points - a remarkable accomplishment reached by fewer than 0.5% of IB students worldwide.

⭐ 30% of students achieved 39 points or more.

⭐ 63% of graduates were awarded the IB Bilingual Diploma, reflecting the international outlook that defines our school community.

📚 One particularly outstanding achievement came from a graduate who earned a perfect 34/34 in the IB Extended Essay – the highest possible mark in one of the Diploma Programme’s core components. An exceptional demonstration of intellectual curiosity, independent research and academic excellence.

As our graduates prepare to begin the next chapter of their lives at leading universities in Germany and around the world, we couldn’t be prouder - not only of the results they have achieved, but of the young people they have become.

To our teachers and families, thank you for the encouragement, care and belief that helped make this journey possible.

And to the Class of 2026:

Congratulations. Your story with St. George’s doesn’t end here - we can’t wait to see where life takes you next.

From Student Initiative to Lasting Impact.

What happens when young people are empowered to turn an idea into action? For our Year 12 CAS students Maelys, Mael and Titus, it resulted in something truly extraordinary.

What began as a student-led initiative became St. George’s first Charity Art Gala, bringing together students, parents, staff and our wider community with one shared purpose: supporting our partner schools, Mangetti Dune Combined School and Grashoek Primary School in Namibia.

This week, the students proudly presented a cheque for 7.645€ to Hand in Hand for Africa e.V.. The funds will help provide access to clean water, contribute to the construction of a protected school hall, and support a sustainable school feeding programme - creating opportunities that will have a lasting impact on the lives of many children.

This achievement is about far more than fundraising. It is about young people recognising that they can make a difference, taking responsibility, inspiring others to join them, and seeing first-hand how compassion, creativity and determination can create meaningful change.

To everyone who supported this initiative - our students, families, staff and partners - thank you for believing in the power of education, collaboration and community.

⚽ One of the world’s most recognised youth football development programmes is coming to St. George’s School Cologne this July!

We are delighted to host the Barça Academy Summer Camp, giving young football enthusiasts the opportunity to train with official Barça Academy coaches and experience the renowned Barça methodology right here on our campus.

At St. George’s, we believe learning doesn’t stop at the classroom door. Through sport, young people develop confidence, resilience, teamwork, leadership and character - qualities that stay with them far beyond the pitch.

The Summer Camp is open to both St. George’s families and the wider community, and we look forward to welcoming aspiring young players for an unforgettable week of football, learning and fun.

🏆 Primary Sports Day 🏆

Our Years 1 to 6 students enjoyed a fantastic day of sport, teamwork and friendly competition at this year’s Primary Sports Day.

The weather couldn’t have been much better, not too hot, not too cold, and just right for a day outdoors on the sports field. From sack races and football dribbles to nerf throws, high jumps and relays, there was plenty of energy, effort and encouragement on display throughout the day. We even managed to get some parents and teachers involved in a few races. 😉

Congratulations to Dickens / Green House for taking this year’s title! 👏

A big thank you to all the families who came along to support, our fantastic Secondary student helpers, the PE team, and everyone who helped behind the scenes to make the day run so smoothly.
