To develop young people who flourish and make a positive impact on others through leading happy, healthy, intentional lives of consequence.
About Us
We are a developing group of strong, successful schools that together will become a leading voice and model for excellence in the sector.
St Albans Education Group schools come together from a position of individual strength and the knowledge that together we are more than just the sum of our parts. Each school has demonstrably strong, capable and prudent leadership and governors who recognise the opportunities afforded by joining a group of like-minded, high-achieving schools to the benefit of all involved.
Every STAEG school shares a common ethos of educational and pastoral excellence that instils in each pupil the values, knowledge, and skills to lead lives of consequence. We achieve this through a school’s own vision, values and aims, maintaining their individual characters and identity.
As a charity, every surplus penny is reinvested in our schools and the outcomes of our pupils.
